Remembering others

In relief society, we had a great lesson.  It got me thinking; how often are we wrapped up in our own lives that we forget about those around us?

Do we take the time to ask others how they are? or get to know them?

I love this quote:

Everyone is going through something difficult, it's not just me or you.
What are we doing to help ease the burdens of others?

A simple question asked, might make all the difference:
What can I do to help?
 

"WHAT IF we could all wear a sign that said what WE REALLY MEANT? What if we could go straight past the small talk……..or the masks…….and we could actually go straight to the heart of the matter…….what if our friends and family wore signs like this?
…we would treat each other differently.
I think we should just try to imagine it………that when a friend is quiet…or not showing up to stuff she usually shows up to….or acting a little “off”….or a family member is wearing pajamas to the grocery store for weeks on end……or not answering the phone…..or the lawn is not mowed…..
IT IS A SIGN. It is not a sign that can be read in words and letters, but it is a sign that someone needs to be treated gently…that they need help….most of all, that they need love, understanding…and that they DEFINITELY DO NOT need to be judged. "

The story is really good.  I encourage you to read it. 

Everyone has feelings, we are human.  Treat people with respect, it's quite simple.
