Agree to Disagree

Respect is one of the greatest expressions of love. ~ Respect and Love Quotes ~

We don't have to agree with people to like them and to show respect. We can agree to disagree.

Some friends of mine had a political sign in their front yard. Two teenage girls were driving by, stopped, and stole the sign. Just so happened a man drove up behind them and saw the whole thing. He reported their license number to the police.

This happened in a small town and the police went over to the parent's home and let them know what had happened. These parents had some common sense. They made the girls take the sign back and apologize. However, it's against the law to steal things out of people's yards so these girls now have a record.

You can disagree with other people and still show respect. What are we teaching children when we do not show respect to people who have a different opinion than we do.

Our Bible verse says, "Fill us each morning with your constant love, so that we may sing and be glad all our life. Psalm 90:14 GNT

If we ask to be filled with God's love we will show respect. When we do we won't be filled with hate and disrespect. We will be filled with God's love and this will help us to feel glad.

Respect is one of the greatest expressions of love.
