We are always taught as children to treat other how we would want to be treated. This lesson would come to my mind a lot when I first came here to Honduras. Now however it seems to be second nature. I have met the widest variety of people here in Honduras. From my various students and my new coworkers, to the people from the street here in Honduras, I LOVE them all. This message is so very important. It doesn't matter what we are or where we have come from, it doesn't matter the clothes we have on or the cars we drive. What truly matters is the relationships we can forge and the lives we have the power to change. If you are reading this it means you are on the hard side of the equation. The side of the equation that can shape, mold, and save the other side. We have the means to do amazing things for people less fortunate than we are. Whether its a smile to a stranger or a hug to someone in need it is important for us to do these things because it is what He would do. We need to be open to everyone God puts into our lives because there is a reason for their presence.
I can now say I treat people the way I want to be treated. I want people to smile, laugh, and give me a great big hug. So that is what I'll do. And it is as simple as that.
