Philippians 2:3 NASB "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves"It's simply called respect! Today's Word has some great advice in how we treat others! It's easy to think of ourselves first but then that wouldn't really show respect to others! While working at the firehouse, a gentleman came in looking for something to eat. He was, as many would call him, a street person. Now some would tell him to hit the streets while others helped him with a meal and a few dollars. He was grateful for the meal and the change in his pocket. Later that day, we seen him going around the fire house and picking up the trash that the wind had blown around. Here was a man who understood respect and being treated like a human being. Maybe we all need to think about how we treat each other, we have the choice to be respectful of all or think of ourselves first. Let's choose the choice Christ made, by thinking of others first! peace, tom
