This week was Suicide Awareness Day and it's been 11 years since the tragic 9/11 attacks. I think we sometimes go about our days so worried about our own lives, we forget the charity and love we need to show for others. You never know when tragedy will strike, when it could be someones last day or when a mean word could push someone's last button. Showing love for others gets harder as we get older. We are betrayed, people wrong us, people annoy us or our feelings are hurt. But we cannot let these things become the reason we treat others wrongly. I am reminded of one of my favorite primary church songs, Im Trying to Be Like Jesus. "Love one another as Jesus loves you, try to show kindness in all that you do. Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought, for these are the things Jesus taught" We can all try to be more loving to people we encounter everyday.
Here's a version of the song, performed by David Archuleta who's currently serving a mission in Chile.
