Judging Others~
My brother told me a true story a few years ago.
I'll remember it as best I can.
There was a man on a city bus with his three children.
The children whined, cried, yelled and even ran around.
The father just stared at them or out the window.
He never said a word and the other passengers were irritated and mad, even making angry remarks, out loud~
The man never responded or corrected his children.
Finally, one individual walked up to him and told him off and rudely asked why he was not disciplining his horribly behaved children.
The man blankly and meekly answered him.
He said he was very sorry but that his children were tired, hungry and upset.
He said they had been at the hospital all day without eating.
"My wife died today", he said.
This story has stuck with me for over 10 years and I will never forget it.
It made such a difference in my life in how I view others.
We just never know what a person's situation is.
I personally have been falsely accused and judged and it hurts.
It's a good story to hold close to the heart, especially as a Christian.
