How we treat one another

"Charity"

This is a very important assertion to consider, I would claim. It is one that can (and surely ought to) bring us to true compunction:

The way we treat another human being is the way we treat our Lord. That doesn’t need further explanation as much as it needs contemplation.

  1. Very true. Makes me think I should get less aggravated at the downstairs neighbours. But then, I'm sure our Lord would not have kept the telly on till 4am while laughing like a baboon.

  3. They're a very odd pair of people. They're brothers, in their early 20s. They never seem to go out, though one of them reckons he works as a plasterer, but I've not seen any evidence of that. They don't seem to have girlfriends, or boyfriends. They spend all their time in front of the TV - it goes on when they get up at midday and stays on till they go to sleep in the wee hours. We've had some beautiful weather lately and they still spend all day indoors, with the curtains drawn, watching TV. I don't get it at all. It's no way to spend your youth.

  4. I would add that the way we treat others may also be a reflection of the way we teat ourselves.
