Have you ever wondered what this world would truly be like if everyone treated each other like they would want to be treated? By nature I am a “people pleaser”, I like to please people and in the same manner I try to avoid conflict. For this reason I don’t understand why some people (because honestly, there are millions of nice people out there) think that not being considerate to others is appropriate. While I cannot change the world and my one little blog isn’t going to do anything, I can raise my boys to be respectful and to treat others as though they want to be treated. After all God has put this law before us and although it is not one of the 10 commandments God wants us to follow it as though it is. By definition, commandment is as a divine rule… or a rule to be observed strictly. Treating others like we want to be treated isn’t a suggestion or what we ought to do, but rather, what we ARE to do!
“In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you
want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” ~Matthew 7:12
