May's Character Counts

Introducing May's Character Quality...

Honor vs. Disrespect
"Respecting others because of their worth as human beings"

The person, actually, it's a husband and wife that I would like to nominate are...
Randy and Evie M.

Randy and Evie demonstrate the quality of honor in so many ways. They have a genuine and sincere heart for people that is very rare to find. Their heart continually goes to people that society easily overlooks. They sonsistently take in people in need of love no matter their social economic status, age, religion, race, personality, or even likeability. Both Randy and Evie have an ability to see past the exterior of a person and straight into the heart and value of a person. There have been so many occassions where I have met with them, and they affirm me not based on temporary qualities that can change, but on who I am as a human and as a person in Christ.
From a young age, I remember going with Randy and Evie to visit the residents who they have dedicated their lives to at their jobs, and learning from their example of the value of a person beyond qualities that society has called the most important.
So, I would like to thank Randy and Evie for their example of honor.

Amen to your choice for this character quality!

I am going to nominate Aunt Pam. She has showed the utmost honor to her mother as she has slowly deteriorated physically and mentally from a disease. She has continued to care for her and love her and honor her as her mother.

I think your game sounds fun! I agree about Randy and Evie too. I think they display this character quality the best too.

I was thinking of Mommy. She definitely had this character quality. I feel like she taught us to love others especially when they don't love us. I don't know how good I am at this, but I know she practiced it very well.

I'm going to nominate my hubby, Ben. He is really great at this character quality, even when people don't deserve it (in my opinion). I tend to be...less merciful and he always shows respect and honor to people. I really see it in his teaching- some of his students can treat him so disrespectfully and he will sit down with them and in a respectful tone use it as a teachable moment to show them their disrespect. He will tell them... "you may not be used to this treatment but I am showing you respect and you need to do the same for me." I think it's a great opportunity to teach respect to kids that don't get it a lot and he's really good at it. In return, he's dearly loved as a teacher and most of the time gets respect from his students due to the example he sets.
