December 7 would have been my mother, Veronica Mitchell’s, birthday.
Each year I like to remember her by telling this story about her and helping to spread the word.
Many years ago when my mom was in the hospital, they put an identification bracelet on her wrist and a nurse asked her what her religion was. My mother replied, “GR.”
The nurse said she had not heard of that religion and asked what it was. My mom explained to her that she believed “You should do unto others as you wish others to do unto you” (GR=Golden Rule).
She said she was sure it was every God’s Rule.
I wish to spread this belief to everyone whether they are religious or not. If all people followed the GR, we would be a better world.
Please follow and spread the GR.
Happy Holidays!
