Honesty is always the best policy

A precious 5 year old little girl from my church started school this year and in order for her to get off on the right foot she decided the best thing would be to introduce herself to her teacher. Most of us have forgotten this common courtesy and I am impressed that she felt it very important. If we took the time to introduce ourselves to other individuals, how much more would our world open up? More friends, more opportunities to witness, more laughter, so much more is possible by one small sentence, “Hi , my name is Christie”. We have become a society that creates little bubbles of just close friends and family. We are afraid by opening up to other people we may be taking on their “problems”. Instead we could be embracing the experiences and wisdom that they have acquired along the way and sharing our own.

Brianna gets this and is willing to share herself to others. This was her introduction to her teacher, “Hi, my name is Brianna and I talk too much”. Just that simple and true. Can we be this honest about ourselves and more importantly are we willing to share that with others. I pray she always keeps this honesty and continues to be so outgoing.
