Is Mr Evans You?

Right now, I am reading Carrie's War by Nina Bawden. It is a British novel based on a girl and brother who have to leave their family during World War 2, and end up in grumpy Mr Evan's house. Mr Evans says he is a Christian but holds onto a lot of bitter and doesn't even forgive his sister after she died.
Mr Evans is very much like people today. We like to take revenge and get people back because they haven't been through what we have, or we have worked so hard while they just sit back and everything comes to them. But really, everyone is going through something. It might not be a divorce but it could be a death or an argument or loosing your sight. To you, it might seem very easy compared to what you are going through but it could be very hard for that person who is going through it.
Instead of bringing others down, encourage them. Wouldn't you want the same thing if you where going through a very difficult time?

Today, think about someone else. See who you can encourage. A little thank you could mean the world to someone.

Wishing you a new day and a new hope.

Wishing lots of tasty English Delights.
