Cop Keeps NFL Player From a Dying In-Law

You know, things like this really make me wonder if hearts are as important as heads in specific circumstances. The answer is of course yes. What a difficult situation to be involved in, losing a loved one. It is never easy. Grace is called for in life on a daily basis. That includes showing it as well as receiving it. How much more would have been gained from showing that rather than making a traumatic experience multiply a true hardship? Much more.

Motivational speaker Lyndy Phillips from Amarillo, Texas says in his seminars,"When you meet someone, that person leaves you feeling either better or bitter." How true that is. Even in a brief instance you have the opportunity to enrich someone's life and to show them your character. If you are authentic and treat others as you expect to be treated, people can be transformed if only for a moment by seeing the good and positive aspects shown from one human life to another. If however you mistreat a person, they go away from you feeling angry, hurt, or worse.

Let us keep in mind that when we see someone, we are not sure what they are going through in their personal life. It could be dire pain or extreme joy. Approach people with a smile and offer them kind words and see about making a positive impact on someone.
