Conner is growing so fast that the suit pants I bought him for Parker's wedding last August are too tight. Yesterday I stopped by Burlington Coat factory and they had great suits at a very good price. I bought him a suit and a few other things and when I got home I looked at the receipt and noticed that I had not been charged for the suit top which was $69.99. I thought that what I had paid was a bit low but I was in a hurry when I left the store and didn't look at the receipt and just figured something had been on sale. I drove back to the store and brought everything I had bought with me and showed the cashier that the other lady had forgotten to charge me for the suit jacket. The lady looked at me stunned, like I was crazy and proceeded to scan the jacket. When she had finished and I had paid for it she looked at me and said "thank you for your honesty". I told her that I had to because I would have felt terrible with not paying for it.
In Proverbs 12:22 it says: "Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight"
Being dishonest is harmful to us and others. It doesn't feel good. It drives away the Spirit of God. When you are honest we are blessed with peace of mind and self respect. Right after I went back to the store and paid for it, I felt good and I knew that Heavenly Father was pleased with me and proud of me.
