To
sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and
humble in spirit; not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving
a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might
inherit a blessing.

Peter 3:8-9
We
all know what happens when someone either intentionally or unintentionally
ticks us off. We instantly get mad and start
running our mouths saying all sorts of things which we later regret. Or, worse yet, we get bumped into and nobody
says, “Excuse me.” And, we end up
wrestling around and somebody gets hurt.
How
about we have a de-escalation Monday and see what happens? We can start by counting to ten and giving
everybody the benefit of the doubt that perhaps they really did not mean to do
what they did, and even if they did, well then we are just going to ignore it.
We
are called to bless, now let’s do it.
