How do you make a decision?

I make many decisions every day in many different ways. Like every day I make the decision to get up in the morning. How I make that decision is I think that I must eat. Other ways I make decision is depending on what benefits me. Here’s a story of when I chose to do what benefits me to guide my decision. We where watching a move and I was saying what my favorite part was, when I messed up what I was saying. Instead of starting all over and looking like an idiot. So I said that kissing was dads favorite part. It got me out of looking like an idiot and I thought that it was not going to come back around but I was wrong. Two years later it came back around. Instead of my siblings saying Dad’s favorite part when people are kissing they say Alexa’s favorite part. And to this day they still do it. I also guide my decision by thinking what Christ would do. I go around and comment on every one every day because I think that Christ commented on others. In church one day as my mom and I were going home a lady was talking with my mom. I told the lady that here scarf was very pretty. I found out that she had knitted it. The following week I took my sisters home right after church. But my mom and Larisa stayed to tell my dad something. Well as they where siting that same lady came up to my mom. She told her that since I had liked her scarf so much, she had made me one. Now I often wear it to Polar Star in the winter. I have often commented on people’s hair and shoes and things. I do not expect anything in return and occasionally they will tell me that made them so happy. And occasionally they give me something in return for making their day. If you look at my two examples you will see when I think of others then good things happen and when I think of myself bad things happen.

I liked the story about the scarf. I always believe when you are kind it comes back to you in some way. Unfortuneately, this is also true when you are unkind. I hope you will keep using Christ as your example to follow. You will not go wrong if you do.
