Today’s Good Word ~ Responsibility

Responsibility challenges us to step up and take ownership. When my children were young, I had a responsibility to protect, love, and provide for them. When my wife was alive, I had a responsibility to love her and no other. I also had a responsibility to my employer to provide an honest day’s work for an honest for an honest day’s wage. I live in a democracy and I have a responsibility to my fellow citizens to vote and work with them to create a better society. There are many other areas of responsibility that touch our lives. They may arise on a moment’s notice. For example, if we see someone injured in an accident we have a responsibility to bring aid and call for help. The more we embrace our responsibilities the more we contribute to a kinder and compassionate society.
