Respect

"Respect. Respecting other people means recognizing their value as human beings, regardless of their background, race, or creed. A respectful person would also never treat a salesperson, a waiter, or an office assistant as somehow inferior. Respect is demonstrated in all your day 0to-day relations - refraining from demeaning others for their ideas and opinions, refusing to laugh at racist or sexist jokes, putting prejudices aside, and staying open-minded. Self-respect is just as important as respect for others. A self-confident person isn't boastful or pushy but is secure with herself in a way that inspires confidence in others. She values herself regardless of her physical attributes or individual talents, understanding that honor and character are what really matter." ~ Emily Post

My mom is the best at giving respect to everyone! She treats everyone as if they are special to her and has made good friends with people many others would just ignore! My mom developed a friendship with the Rice Epicurean "yogurt" lady! God works in WONDERFUL ways! My grandmother, Gigi, cannot drive anymore and we were looking for a driver for her to use various times during the week! Right when we were researching options, we learned that Roma's husband owned a limo business! Now Gigi uses his town car service when she needs a driver! Thank you, Lord!
Today, lets remember that people in the service industry deserve our respect. Allow people to make mistakes and allow them the chance to correct them. Give people the same grace that Christ has given us! You never know what special friendships will develop! ~ Elizabeth
