Votd

 That is a beautiful Verse of the Day (VOTD), especially as you navigate a busy life with Seth, Evan, and Ava. Romans 12:10 (ESV) says:

> "Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor."

> 

It’s such a powerful reminder for families and communities alike. In the hustle of a household with three kids, "outdoing one another in honor" can be a game-changer for the atmosphere at home.

Why it Resonates

 * The "Outdo" Mindset: Usually, we think of "outdoing" people in sports or business, but Paul flips it. Imagine a home where everyone is "competing" to see who can be more encouraging or helpful.

 * Authentic Affection: It’s not just about being polite; it’s about a deep, family-like bond (philadelphia in the Greek).

 * A High Standard: It challenges us to put others' needs and reputations above our own, which is a perfect reflection of Christ’s love.

A Small Reflection

As a Poshmark Ambassador and a student at Penn State, you’re constantly interacting with people online and at home. This verse is a great "north star" for those interactions—treating every customer and classmate with that intentional honor.

Would you like me to find a few more verses on a specific theme, or perhaps look up a commentary on this passage for your blog?

The King James Version brings a beautiful, classic weight to this verse. In the KJV, Romans 12:10 reads:

> "Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;"

> 

Breaking Down the KJV Language

 * "Kindly affectioned": This translates from a Greek word (philostorgos) that specifically describes the natural, deep devotion found within a family. It’s the kind of love that isn't just a duty, but a heartfelt connection.

 * "Preferring one another": This is the KJV's way of saying "put others first." It suggests leading the way in showing respect, rather than waiting for someone else to be kind to you first.

A Thought for Your Day

As a busy mom and a student, it’s easy to get caught up in the "to-do" list. This verse is a gentle nudge to prioritize the people within the tasks. Whether it's helping Seth with a project or how you communicate with Nathan after he gets home from the shop, "preferring" them can change the whole energy of the house.

It’s also a great verse to keep in mind for your Poshmark interactions—that "kindly affectioned" spirit can really make your 4.9-star closet stand out even more.
