What if this Christmas you received the same treatment you have given others in the past rather than presents wrapped in paper and tied up in bows? Would your life overflow with kindness? Would all your mistakes be forgiven? Would you be thankful to be alive? Would you end 2021 with the best present ever? What if every person asked before they reacted, "Do I want to receive the same treatment I'm about to give to this person?" Would they hold back their comments? Would they decide their opinion doesn't always need to be shared? Would their words show a benevolent nature or a hateful one? Would you find graciousness and gratefulness? I wish everyone could receive the gift of sight; to be able to see their actions reflected to them. With this gift, I would hope people could be reformed or rewarded for their behavior. I also pray that I can follow the golden rule, "Treat others the way I want to be treated," with the hope that I can be the person I want to see more of in this world. Here's to Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and a Peaceful New Year.
