Abraham Lincoln is reported to have said, “Whatever you are, be a good one.”

I like that.
It’s simple.
It’s challenging and it’s thought-provoking.

I struggle to ‘be a good one’ all the time.

I am good at certain things but don’t excel at any one thing, so I can find it hard to know at any one time what to focus on.
There are times when I envy people who can only play football, or sing, or bake. They are known for that and that alone.
I am not like that. I am not known for any one thing more than another, but I have learnt that this is what I am and who I am – for now at least.

What about you?

What do you do? And are you a good one?

Are you a mum? A doctor? A wife? A daughter? A cleaner?

More to the point, are you a good one?
What would help to make you better?

Whatever it is “work at it with all you heart as though you were working for the Lord, not for men.”
