Nobody likes bullying no matter what side of the political fence you sit on. Everyone of us have been a victim of bullying at some point in our life and it hurts. Yet when I see something outwardly that frustrates me, I first need to reflect inward. How do I treat or talk about people that I disagree with? It’s important for my husband and I, when we disagree with someone, to discuss the situation behind closed doors away from our children. Why? Because I want my kids to continue to show honor and respect for that person no matter what. I want them to see the best in someone and not allow it to be tainted by a disagreement we’ve had. And if my kids ask me about the person that I have had a disagreement with, I try to give them the most respectful response for that person. What about you? How do you talk about people that you disagree with around your kids, grandkids, or others? Let’s be honest and not cancel out social media. There are plenty of people that will not confront other’s face to face but have no problem criticizing, attacking, and let’s just call it for what it is “bullying” on social media. We need to understand that our kids are watching us. And they will act out what we teach them by our actions. We all want better for our kids. But in order for them to “have” better, we need to “do” better. My prayer is that our eyes will be opened, our ears would truly listen, and our hearts would be softened to the golden virtue of treating others the way we want to be treated. And for us followers of Christ, that we would truly represent Him and His love even to those that we disagree with.
