The video below

I have also posted the video below on my face book but thought that it was so awesome that it needed to be posted here too since it meant so much to me. I have to be honest here. I first saw this video and yes, I did cry. I didn't cry because I was sad. I cried because I was touched that people care about someone like they seemed to in the video. This is the way that we need to act towards one another. We don't need to act this way just to those with special needs or to just kids. we need to show this kind of love and compassion towards one another. No one specific but to EVERYONE. I see so many children in schools today that are treated differently because they just are not like everyone else. I see kids that are treated differently because someone just doesn't like them for whatever reason. If we can teach our kids at home the importance of compassion and love towards one another then maybe this treatment will stop. It's not about being popular. It's about doing what is right weather it is the popular way or not. It's about caring for one another whether you know that person or not. It should be all about JESUS and reaching out to the lost so that they too may have everlasting life. We will all have our differences whether in opinion or interpretation but we still can love one another and have the compassion like these kids do in the video. Hold each other up. Lift each other up in prayer. Don't let your fellow man fall and be left. HAVE COMPASSION!!!
