Integrity of the upright
The integrity of the upright will guide them. (Proverbs 11:3)
When [I was] a child, I found two coins on the school playground. I brought them home, thinking they wouldn't be missed, but Mother made me take them to my teacher. . . . Since then, God has often reminded me of this early lesson in honesty.
Recently. . .I discovered. . .a greeting card I hadn't paid for [underneath my grocery sacks]. I[returned] to the [store]. . ., apologized for the oversight, and paid for the card. A man behind me. . .[said], "It's only a greeting card!. . . Weren't you a bit silly to come back?" . . .For a split second I did feel silly. But then these words came to mind: "Should you ever lose your wallet,. . . I'm sure you hope that somebody silly like me finds it!"
