When I go to church, I really try to zone out the people around me and focus on my praise...but if there's one person I can't help but pay attention to, it is my pastor. She is 60-something, but when it comes to praising the Lord, she has the most energy of anyone in the building! Her zeal really inspires me to give my all.
But recently I have noticed another person. My 7-year-old sister. Sometimes she will wear similar clothing to mine, or stand next to me during the service. I try to make sure I'm doing the right thing, since I know she's watching. A few weeks ago, however, I saw that my 3-year-old cousin was doing something interesting: when she comes in church, she stands next to my sister. She looks up to see if my sister is clapping and singing. If my sister stands still, the little girl stands still.
So I get on my sister. I try to get her to do the right thing. She thinks I'm just being hard on her; that's not it. I just noticed that although she is 7, someone else is looking up to her.
And you never know who's watching.

AMen to that. It's like a child will mimic what they see especially if they believe that it is acceptable. Even if they don't they will do it because they see it. Nice thoughts.
