Good Morning, God
Lord, we often quote what we call "The Golden Rule" down here. It may even still be on our school room walls, although it may not be there since the golden Rule is a New Testament Bible verse. But in our best times of trying to get along with each other, we remember to say "Let me do unto others as I would have others do unto me". Lord, help me, give me the strength and honor to see that other person and treat him or her as if I was looking in the mirror.
But here's another thought, Lord. What if the way we want to be treated is not the way someone else would like to be treated? What if that other person loved quiet solitude rather than a boisterous party for handling the blues? So, what if we didn't treat the other person in ways we wouldn't want to be treated? We don't want to be discriminated against due to one or more of our traits. We don't want to be ostracized from a group just because we believe differently. We always hope that we can live lovingly, pursuing life, liberty and happiness and pray that no one will try to take these things from us. So, may we not treat others like we hope to not be treated. An interesting twist, eh Lord?
In Jesus name, Amen
