"Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice!
Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace.
And the Father of Love and Peace will be with you!"
(2 Corinthians 13:11)

Times are surfacing, transforming into being extremely hard these days, as we already know. But, then again, it's not like we weren't warned of these moments that are approaching us.
We are becoming more painfully aware that many are continuing to be fiercely bitter, rude, and obnoxious to others, whenever they are outside of their immaculate abodes. They choose to refrain from having a reason to provide such fond treatment to mere strangers, even laughing at their discontent.

People
who no longer have the privilege of possessing a decent job today, who
happen to be 50 years and over, doubtful in locating
another profitable position that allows them to continue living by which they've been accustomed. The air itself is full of disarray and chaos spirits, adding
more fuel to the fire in the hearts of individuals, with acts of bullying,
selfishness, belittling, etc., having an "I could care less" attitude, because they consider themselves proudly egotistical.
For instance, I read an insert today, that shows how insidious mindsets have become, but then we begin to take a person's feelings into consideration:

Instead
of displaying an act of kindness, or just plain, old-fashioned
courtesy, why is it that we decide to treat others as if we have
everything perfectly together in our own lives, and need nothing else?
While driving our cars, can we choose to be noble, when we see an older person cruising carefully on the road, by being happy for them that they are still able to maneuver a vehicle, without the help of a care facilitator? Instead of thinking that we are so physically perfect, wearing expensive famous-name-brand attire, while gazing at the less fortunate, mocking them for not having what we may have? Imagine what it would be like if the shoe was on the other foot!

We
are so blessed beyond measure, without realizing it. Is it so
difficult or demeaning, to provide a sense of encouragement, spread some
solace or comfort, by smiling more at others, whether we know them or
not? It doesn't hurt us one bit, when we spread more understanding in
ways and actions, to EVERYONE - great or small, short or tall, young or
aged.
Can
we begin to come out of ourselves, place more emphasis on
transferring more patience, objecting to evil, inhumane traits that bring
discord, instead of hope to troubled minds? A smile is an anointed blessing that can carry on for
miles, even to the point of being in a humorous state, making the
atmosphere light and free.
I
adore amorously when a person, in a supermarket or office environment,
walks by and cracks their cheek muscles. You can tell they are living
and breathing with the sentiment of joy, enlightenment and great
anticipation, that all is not lost. Even if the day started on a rough
note, they are still determined that they will not allow themselves to
"sweat the small stuff." In turn, that type of carefree disposition
brings showers of contentment, to me!
We
need to learn how to help each other, while we are here, experiencing
many of the same things, struggling through together. Let's
consider how we would feel if we did not have our amazing, high-paying
job, or stability, with all the comforts of home, and an unwavering
nest-egg, before we make comments, stating babble, like "why are they so lazy," or "they can find a job somewhere, it's not that hard!"
Encouragement
and true inspiration springs hope and determination. Try it with everyone
you meet. It could actually make a difference! And don't forget - it could be YOU! How would you want to be treated? Think about it!
