DO NOT JUDGE

So as you all know, we have 7 children, which 5 of them are at a age where, they sometimes tend to judge. When I come across a conversation or a comment one might have all I think about is this picture below...

Don't get me wrong, I too find myself judging others. Sometimes a little more than I'd like. But through the power of prayer, I am reminded by our father in heaven, that this is not a trait he wants me to have.That I need to set a better example to our children and to all people in general.

This picture reminds me, wether it's the little negative comment about someone or if you've been offended by a person. STOP and try to remember that we might not always know what that person might be dealing with. Show compassion anyways to those who hurt you and try to be quick to forgive and move on.

This morning, my Hubby and I, kind of had a disagreement. (Here is a little background of what he does) We own and he operates a roofing company. Things are going great, busy, but GREAT! We have been busy with life, church, sports, summer, ect. Things get hectic!

This last week seemed like I only blinked once and it is Friday already. Anyways, to make a long story short, as we got up today and started getting ready for today, we failed to communicate all last week and he has a lot on his mind. I've been running around like a CRAZY lady, trying to get everything ready for school and the BIG party tomorrow. Well, he said something and I felt offended, so I started judging about how much I have doing all week, and he wasn't, blah, blah, blah. And he left a little upset.... That is NOT how I want my morning to start. So we (really he initiated the sorry) said our "sorry's" and as we made things better, he opened up. I didn't realize all he has been dealing with these last 2 weeks. Things that I don't know what it feels like to face, because I don't run our business, coach our kids baseball and football, do the hiring and firing of employees, ect. At that point all I could remember was this picture.

Like I said, wether its a big thing or little.. DO NOT JUDGE! You do not know what storm (little or small- a storm is different to every person) God has asked him to go through.....

I'm just thankful for a loving Heavenly Father who loves me enough to help me see others feelings... And forgive me for my actions. I hope you all have a good day and remember to stop and think before you might judge......
