Dirty Laundry

Let's face it, we all have it.  It is part of life.  We don't like others to see it.  If you hang it out, you don't like others to see your families personal items, especially when they are well worn.  If you have someone come help you clean, you wash your families personal items yourself.  We are uncomfortable folding others clean personal items.

So what is my point?  We are more protective of our families dirty clothes than we are of our families lives.
As with our laundry, there are things in our families lives that are considered dirty laundry.  It makes others uncomfortable.  It hurts the people involved when it is shown.  But yet, we get on Facebook, our phones, face to face, and let the world see.

I ask you today to make a change.  Care as much for your families wounds as you do their personal laundry items.  Be supportive.  Pray for them and for yourselves to contain yourself when you feel the need to air things others have done.  Remember, we have all done wrong in our lives and have things we don't want aired in public. 

I hear you, I hear you, oh, but it is just constructive criticism.  I do believe there is a time for constructive criticism.  But that should be between you and that person, not you and the world.  It is time for compassion in our world.  I say what better time than now to make that change.  Write the word "compassion" on your hand today and see how much it will make a difference in the way you speak to others.  Love, Hugs and Smiles
