Others First?

This cute picture says it all. A bigger dog giving preference to a smaller dog. The small dog lays on the big dogs bed while the big dog tries to get whatever it can onto the small dogs bed. The big dog isn't complaining, whining or being a victim. It's OK to him and has a "no worries" mentality, or at least that's how I read it :) How are you when it comes to putting others first? Or giving others the preference? I've blogged about this kind of choice before because it's so important. In a me first culture it's easy to live that way when the Bible tells us we're to give the preference to others. This is clearly spoken to us in Romans 12:10, "Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another..." But realistically what would this look like in your day or life? It really comes down to giving precedence and honoring one another. What would our culture look like if people gave preference and honored others? No more me first or pushing others down so you can get ahead. I think things would be very much different to what they are. Today you will get many opportunities to put yourself first. And at the same time you'll get just as many opportunities to prefer others. What will your choice be :)
