We are all in this together

Life is about many things to many people. There are some things that life need not be about. Life should not be about being right. It should not be about winning. It should not be about being richer, stronger, thinner, better looking, or just plain "better" than someone else.
Our lives should also not be about ourselves. Truly, the way Jesus taught was that we need to forget ourselves, and serve others. Sometimes this means biting our lip, not saying what we want to. Sometimes it is just about treating our families with love when it is hard to. Always it should be about treating strangers with love. Everyone is going through something. You may not know what it is, and they are certainly not showing it. It doesn't matter. What matters is that you show them the love and respect that they deserve. And they deserve every bit of love and respect you are capable of showing.
I invite you to be a little kinder, be more willing to compromise, treat others fairly, respect and understand that everyone is human, and show them love. You will be surprised at the results. I can testify from my own life that this is the case. I say this in the name of Jesus Christ, amen
