I've always taught my kids that they should be friends with everyone, regardless of what they look like. My father was kind to everyone, so I think that's where I picked up the desire to be that way.<br /><br />In a recent Conference of the LDS Church, Elder Dieter Uchtdorf put it this way (http://www.lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5232,23-1-1207-23,00.html): "I hope that we welcome and love all of God’s children, including those who might dress, look, speak, or just do things differently. It is not good to make others feel as though they are deficient. Let us lift those around us. Let us extend a welcoming hand. Let us bestow upon our brothers and sisters a special measure of humanity, compassion, and charity ". We're not great at this skill, but hopefully we're getting better!Frank Stahelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01822334061980912687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25646979.post-72918705636228706452010-05-28T07:34:06.604-06:002010-05-28T07:34:06.604-06:00As a person who is covered in tattoos it's alm...As a person who is covered in tattoos it's almost heart warming to read this. I have tattoo sleeves on both arms on of my legs, tattoos on my hands and fingers, and one on my neck. All of my art is completely non-abrasive. Yet, no matter where I am, at anygivin point if i catch eyes with a person they immediately turn there head. I can almost see the comic book thought bubbles above their heads. I does'nt hurt my feelings or anything because I get it... it's different. And it totally makes my day when an older man or woman stops me just to talk about them or look at them with smiles on their faces.
