Choose life so that you and your descendants may live.” Deuteronomy 30:19 We choose life when we follow the words and example of Jesus in doing unto others as we would have them do unto us. It’s a simple rule, at least simple in the saying of it...but frequently hard in the doing. Perhaps a few minute’s thoughts about it each day would be a good thing.
