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.

It's Here!!!

Happy April Fool's Day!!! It's a good day 'cause it's the start to "My Favorite Things"...and no, I'm not pulling a trick on you. Actually, I thought about acting like I wasn't going to do it anymore as my April Fool's joke...and decided against it since I thought that would be fun for...well, no one. :)

.

So, let's get started!!! I'm going to begin by introducing a "game" that is going to go all year round...it's called, "Character Counts". Let me just say here that I'm not going to announce what my favorite thing for the month is until we have a winner...but I'll let you know that I believe good character and great examples should receive the best prizes...so with that said, the prize for "Character Counts" will be the best prize of them all...

A. because there will only be one winner for a contest that goes for an entire year and

B. because I love acknowledging great character!!!

.

Presenting...

Character Counts

.

What: Each month, I'm going to introduce a character quality. During that month, you can nominate a person who has demonstrated that character quality to be entered for a chance to win the prize at the end of the year.

Where: You can nominate someone on any post during that month.

When: You can only nominate 1 nominee per month and only for the character quality of the month in which you're nominating.

How to nominate: Tell us their name (don't give the last name for safety reasons with this being an open blog), and how the character quality was demonstrated.

.

April's Character Quality:

Dependability vs. Inconsistency

"Fulfilling what I consented to do, even if it means unexpected sacrifice"

April's "My Favorite Things" game: 25 Questions

.

For those of you who have been with this blog for a while, you may remember playing this game! It's been one of my favorite "Silly Nothings" games played...so I thought it was only appropriate to have it be the first one.

.

Who: You

What: I have a person, place, or thing in my mind and everyone can ask questions. I'll take up to 25 questions and whoever is the first to guess, will win! If 3 people think a hint is needed, I'll give one, but there can only be 2 hints given so that's why there have to be at least 3 people asking for one

Where: You can ask the question on any post until a winner is announced...I recommend posting your question/guess in the most recent post or I may not see it.

.

It's a THING.

.

So there you have it! Let the games begin...25 Questions and Character Counts!
