When I was in middle school a fun family moved in next door with a girl one grade older than me. We became great friends! I have a lot of fun memories with her, like dancing to N'sync really late at night. We live far apart from each other now, but social media has made it easy to keep up on each other's lives. She is such a good mom and I love that she shares the wisdom she has learned. She recently shared this cute post and I just love it! It really resonated with me and made me want to be better. She's the best.
"My son threw this awesome life-hack at me this morning and it blew me away! I've been thinking on it ever since. He said, "Mom, if I look at people, I love 'em!" Why do we let our pride and judgment get in the way of simply loving people for who they are right this minute? I think it is totally possible to giveaway this kind of love without any expectations on our end. Obviously, Christ is our greatest example of this! Real Christ-like love isn't dependent on anything other than we have a beating heart, which automatically makes us a child of God. Our value lies in this alone! What a beautiful truth! I don't know a ton but I know I want to extend more love to those I know or meet. I want my knee-jerk reaction to be love!!"
