Being Nice Costs You Nothing.

Life is the precious gift God has given us to be in the service to our fellow Human Beings. You can see herein that this blog is simple, not fancy, although soon, with my daughter Marisol's help it will take on a cool look. None the less, I am here to make the case that being nice costs you nothing. Being a hate mongering creep like some people I know (this includes Marisol's older sister) , is what gets you life's misery. When individuals go out of their way to be heels and creeps to persons who have done absolutely nothing bad to them, but rather, have shown them care, charity and love, it does not appear to sit well in the eyes of Heavenly Father when these malcontents make the practice of being inconsiderate and cruel to others, their "mod us operand".

I am always going to practice the manners of the Christ who taught us that to love thy neighbor as thyself, is the true labor of love in this journey through life.

The Holy Scriptures (Book of Mormon) say: "When ye are in the service of your fellow Human Beings, ye are in the service of you God.", Mosiah 2:17.

Paul the Apostle commands us to "Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep", Book of Romans, Chapter 12 verse 9, New Testament. We are commanded by the Epistles of Heavenly Father to be nice, polite, kind to all.

When we find ourselves angry or displeased by the feelings we harbor when those feelings are unnaturally hostile, we must look inward, ask ourselves why we dislike that person, why we expend so much energy being hateful to someone, when there is more redemption and happiness in loving our neighbor, even our adversaries. Look inside your heart, and see if you can make a difference in some one's life. In the time God has given me in this life, I will always make it my duty to be loving, caring, compassionate to others.

Remember, being nice especially to others, costs you nothing and gains you lots of happiness and blessings.
I say this in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
