Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. ~ Leviticus 19:18 KJV

This goes back to the treat others like you want to be treated.  Don't talk about people, don't lie to people or about them, don't say hurtful things -- you know what you would or wouldn't do to yourself.  That is how you need to be to others.  I know sometimes it is very hard to do but this is one of the 10 commandments. 

Other people around you will see how you treat others and will know that you are a good person.  If you are constantly blaming others for your inadequacies or talking bad about others, they all know you will do the same to them.  Stop it ! !  Don't you remember the Disney movie "Bambi" (one of my favorites) where Bambi's mother told him that if he couldn't say something nice to not say anything at all??  These are good words to live by in all of our lives.  It is better to say nothing than to run someone else down for any reason.  It is very unnecessary.

We could all stand to learn something from Bambi's mother in this movie -- sweet and nurturing and always looking out for others best interest.  This is hard to find in people anymore.  People are so cynical anymore about everything and it seems to get worse with every generation.  Either that or I'm getting senile -- which I guess is always a possibility but I don't remember people being this hateful when I was in high school (GO Grenadiers ! ! ).  You know you always have your rough kids who are mean and hateful but anymore I see a large population leaning this way.  It is sad.  A lot of people out there need a lot of Jesus in their lives and maybe they would be nicer.

It's Saturday, get out and enjoy the weather wherever you are.  I could go for some snow today.  Phoenix is going to be in the upper 80's all weekend but I would love some rain or snow : ).  This is beautiful weather but here in a few months every one will be wishing for rain or snow in Phoenix when it is over 100 degrees all day and most of the night.

Have a great weekend and enjoy it with others,
