“A
Christian faithful to obedience, knows not delays, but prepares his
ears for hearing, and his hands and his feet for labor.” -St. Bernard of
Clairvaux
You just sat down to read your book when your mom asks you to do the dishes. You wish you could just read one chapter and then go do dishes, but you decide to be obedient and do the dishes first.
Your teacher has told you that you can’t go outside to play without permission. But you see your friends go so you assume it must be okay. Just as you’re about to go outside, you decide to be obedient and you find an adult to ask first.
