The little wooden figurine pictured in today's post carries an important message.
It's really true that a happy heart loves all.
(Well, can we change that to almost all? There are some really terribly behaved human beings in this world who hurt others. Those without a conscience are the hardest to love, I think.)
How do we show love?
Here's a mini-list:
* Try to look at the best in a person, rather than the worst.
* Refrain from talking negatively about someone. Instead, think of his/her good traits and concentrate on those instead.
* Be kind toward all, including crabby clerks or other kinds of workers. One never knows what is going on in their personal lives.
* If someone yells at you, refrain from yelling back. If you have to respond, do it in a "whispery" voice.
* Take deep breaths when someone is bugging you. Then, exit the room as soon as possible.
* Be kind and understanding.
* Stay away from gossip and people who gossip. If that person talks about others, you know he/she is going to talk about you, too!
* Pray for people who bug you, who get under your skin. They need prayers more than anything.
* Appreciate those who love you. Tell them you love them. Be good to them. They are in your life for a purpose.
* Be gentle with yourself.
* Stay close to God.
