What is your Story?

Have you ever looked at a stranger and wondered "what is their story?" What has happened in your life to make you the person that you are today?

Instead of getting upset at someone who is mean and angry and grumbling all the time, instead of lashing back, stop and just look at them through different eyes and know that they are a human being just trying to get through this life on Earth. They obviously have had issues that have caused them to be the way they are at that moment. Did someone they love die or did their wife or husband leave them?
Did they just lose their home? What is their story? If we looked at everyone with compassion even though they may be coming across as a jerk, it may change their story into a better one moving forward. Do you dare break the chain of the common reaction of the same type of behavior? Instead, respond with a hug or a kind Word. The results may surprise you. Let’s make a difference today and try turning someone’s sadness into gladness. Ask yourself, what would Jesus do?
