Every day we make countless choices about how we will behave and how we will react to situations.
Choosing “Not to be Negative” is a choice. Instead of using negative energy, which is usually very draining and upsetting to yourself and others.
Embracing the Love of God by Giving of Yourself is an alternate choice we can make. These are the actions our children observe and learn from us. We have all heard the saying; “Don’t do as I do, Do as I say.” Unfortunately, it just doesn’t work that way. We are not born with knowing how to be negative. It is a learned behavior.
There will always be people that are rude, thoughtless, mean, etc. The immediate human reaction is probably to return that behavior, which we all know will only make things worse. Have a discussion with your family, friends, someone with whom you have a relationship, about how Jesus would want us to react.
