Are you a blessing to someone else?

• Who will you encourage and lift up today? Who will think about you as a blessing to them? 

• Remember that everyone you meet has sorrows and struggles somewhere in their lives...and that not everyone may have the joy or love that you do. This world can be a hard place...let us all try and make it a little better for those we encounter 

• We all make decisions, with every person we encounter, on how to treat others.  So often we take the easy route; we ignore the person needing help, get irritated at the mother with loud children, eye the young person dressed slovenly with suspicion or contempt.  But why do we do this?  What makes us so much better than anyone else?

• Let us instead try and reach out in compassion, understanding and patience.  If we treat others with the same respect we wish to be treated....then a situation, a relationship...is transformed.  This world can use some transformations.  Let one begin with you.
