How do WE treat others

Good morning
Happy monday-no matter what..we all are here and there are some who are not so let's put that in perspective first and foremost

So i was on pinterest this morning and came across a quote/saying that really screamed out to me...i have attached it below (well you have to click the link) but i will talk about it

The quote says treat everyone you come across today like it is their last day...treat them with respect and kindness expecting nothing in return

*that me paraphrasing*
How true this is...how do we treat people....how do we treat our brother (in the Biblical sense)
Are we patient or are we always rushing
Do we make the time for folks or do we push them off for "later"?

Does later always happen?
Do we talk to people sometimes without regard thinking we can apologize later
Are we always aware of what people are going through

Is it hard to treat people the way we want to be treated

I think we all get so absorbed in our own world and our own selfishness that we forget how our lives mesh with others...

We take forgiveness and understanding for granted

What if that one time you are mean or short with someone or that one fight is the LAST time......will it be worth it? Is that how you want to be remembered?  Is that what you want to be known as?

That leads me to wonder....what do people think of you? If someone speaks your name or talks behind your back....what are they saying?

Do you come across genuine...or you an asshole...are you a kind person...are you the person people confide in...are you trustworthy......

I guess my thought in all of this is to pause today-to really think about our interaction with others.....treat others like it is their last day and that means with respect and reverence.... smile more... be slow to anger....
Your time and your smile are the most important and biggest gifts we can give someone

So today on this monday..the day everyone drags through...be a gift to someone....
