What are you Stuffed with?

Last week, my family and saw the new Ice age movie and afterwards went to the Pizza Hut in Asheboro for a late lunch. We got there after the lunch buffet had ended so we had to order the pizzas. My children were very hungry and 2 of them asked if they could get a salad while they waited. When the bill came and it was time to go I noticed the bill didn't match what i thought it would be, and after checking I realized that the waitress didn't add 1 of their salads to the bill. When I said this to my family, one of my children said yeah, they messed up and you don't have to pay for it.

After a brief pause, i said we can't do that. We have to tell her of the mistake and pay for it. I know that we all make mistakes, but what we need to strive for is always doing the right thing, even if there is a cost. I pray that my children saw that Daddy did the right thing and there is never a time to ignore doing the right thing because it was someone elses mistake. I've realized that my children are constantly watching me and I pray that God will help me always set an example that is honorable to him.

So.....What are you stuffed with?
