"What Would Michael Do?" I admit, this is a TOUGH question, and it's probably even tougher to live up to. Jesus said "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Sadly, despite all the goodness Michael gave to the world, he was met with disrespect and hatred. Until June 25, when he finally received his Glorious Reward. I'm gonna quote Michael's son Prince at the Grammy's in 2010: "Through all his songs, his message was simple: Love." But, as we've all experienced, it's difficult to love. However, I think that's what Michael would have done. When you have to be around a person that is unpleasant, remind yourself that God loves that person dearly, and try your best to be kind to him/her. Difficult? Absolutely. But it's what Michael would have done! He was always trying to help in any way that he could, in any situation. And that's what we should try to do: Donations to charities, visits to hospitals, praying for people, lighting a candle for a loved one – doing an act out of unselfish love. Mother Teresa said: "Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless." Honour Michael Jackson today by sending an email, letter or text message to someone special to you and write something sweet, and know that your kind words have entered someone else's heart and WILL make a difference.
