"Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor." - Romans 12:10 ESV

We all want to be treated with a little respect. Something as small as a quick greeting, a nod of the head, or the smile that says I know that you exist, make many people's lives bearable. Handle everyone with respect. Notice the sticker on their chest that was put there by God: "Fragile! Handle with Care!" Now do it. Each person is special. If you treat them with respect and dignity, God's goodness shines brightly. Treat everyone with respect no matter how they have treated you. God is watching and sees any wrongs that have been done to do. He will fight your battles! Thank you and God Bless!
