Exactly! Honesty should be its own reward.
I once did something that I have never told anyone because it’s prideful. Even posting that sentence is probably wrong.
Jesus said we should pray in secret? I’m probably wrong about that. Oh! Do good works in secret, I think.
Sorry if I’m making no sense... waiting for my 20 year old son to come home. He bicycles on long rural roads with no lights... can’t really sleep until I hear him open the door.
“And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” Matthew 6:4.
You did just fine
Thoughts and prayers for you and your son
