Don't Forget To Love

Remember to think about why it happened

Don't Forget To Love
democraticunderground.com

This world can be a more than frustrating place so it is hard to always be Christ like. Sometimes when we encounter other people, we forget to do something that is more important than we realize.

As Christians, we are always suppose to love on people, even when we are frustrated or angry at them. For those that you know it is easier to love on them because you know what they have been through. But what about those that are strangers to us?

There is a whole world out there that we do not know about. Just recently I have had conversations with several people and I was left in awe. People go through so much more than we understand because we ourselves have never experienced what they have. There may even be people you know that has gone though some tough situations in life and you may not know it.

After we realize that there is so much about people that we do not know, it changes how we treat them when something happens. We might want to yell at someone or ignore them or do whatever it is we do when they make us angry, but remember to think about why it happened. There is hidden hurt that causes people to act the way they do and our job as Christians is to heal them. Don't get me wrong, sometimes people do things that are without excuse. There are other people that we fail to see what is hurting them on the inside and we also fail to show them Christ like love.

So many things happen to people in this world, things we don't know. Never forget that there may be things that you don't know about, so do not be quick to judge. Also remember that you are an ambassador of Christ and to always show his love to people wherever you go.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
