At the end of every day we should ask ourselves this question:
Did I Always Love?
It
was sometime around Thanksgiving when I looked
at a DIAL ® soap dispenser while washing my hands and had an epiphany . For some odd
reason it
hit me like a ton of bricks, the acronym, Did I Always Love? Sadly, I fail at this more times than not.
Especially at Christmas time, this is a question we should all be asking
ourselves. Rather than what should I be getting or can I get the right
gift
so I can make myself look good. At least personally, sometimes I forget
that love requires I engage with others rather than just run around
buying things for them.
During
this festive holiday season, every time we see a bar or dispenser of
DIAL ®soap may we be reminded to love. The message of Christmas is
simple:
God loves us and He sent his Son as a gift to prove it.
May
we all be inspired by Jesus’ short life, from cradle to the grave, that
easily answers the DIAL ® question with a resounding YES.
“People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love” Nelson Mandela
