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.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
