As the sun was setting tonight I had been listening intently to a podcast but my mind was not on it. Something else kept buzzing in my ear about beliefs and about one another. When I shut down everything else, I realized it was a contrast between beliefs and one another. I could hear the words loud and clear, “At the end of the day, it has always been about how we treated one another. ” I thought I would encourage the thought and just see where it took me. Of course, the sun was setting so it was the end of the day. What a perfect time to hear this message. Yet, I knew it was not about the sun setting. The context of “at the end of the day” was more about the realization that life is short and there will be a day when this facet of life will end for each of us. It was more about the finalization of life and the sun setting on this life. It is the curtain closing on this act and in time we come to a point, eventually, when we will face how we behaved in life versus what we believed in life.
This life in the human body is about “us” and how we interact with one another. We are here to learn how to act and behave according to who we are with one another more than what we can physically accomplish. This list came to me and I am going to share it with you because eventually we will all say goodbye to this human body and move onward to an evaluation of our lives. Thought-provoking, isn’t it?
At the end of the day this life has been about:
How we treated one another. Was it with honoring or dishonoring?
If we respected each other. Did we look down on others?
Whether we gave when we were able. Yes, we are our “brother’s keeper”.
Did we feed each other when one was hungry?
Did we help one another in love and with a heart filled with responsibility?
Did we overcome obstacles in our connections with one another, or did we put up a wall instead?
Were we considerate and responsible with others’ feelings and heart hurts?
Were we a buffer in the storm of life? Did we listen with the intent to hear and advise?
Did we speak to each other in a way that gave each other dignity?
Did we give to each other in life instead of always thinking about taking?
Did we attempt to understand or simply swat one another away and discredit each other?
Did we choose love when it was so much easier not to?
Yes, at the end of the lifetime when the sun begins to set these questions and more will be the ones we will deal with. There is no way I am attempting to be anyone’s authority on how to behave. I teach what I am given. What you do with it is your business because your soul is the one to give account in the afterlife. It might not matter so much to you now, but trust me, one day it will, and very quickly I might add. Time seems to go faster and faster the more we breathe.
So, as you watch the sunset over the horizon will you be considering how hard YOUR life has been or how much easier you made someone else’s? Believe me, we reap what we sow. So forgive, love with an open hand, and consider one another. Love is not hard when it is selfless love.
Loving you from here,
