REMEMBER TO LOVE THY NEIGHBOR

One never realizes that others have a life until they are watched or scrutinized. Especially people you may not have much regard for. I came to this understanding and had to ask God for a little forgiveness at judging these people when I was making my periodic check of my daughters facebook page and was looking at pictures of a friend of hers that I didn't know she had as a facebook friend. Last I knew, they didn't get along and maybe, who knows, don't. The point is I looked at some of her pictures and saw her socializing with family and friends from school and church. No matter how weird we find someone or how we may not even care for them too deeply, they are still people with lives and others who care for them. Hopefully I won't forget this. That being said, it doesn't mean I have to like them, but I should still be nice and understand we are all different. This also means that they don't have to like me. But at least we shouldn't be judgmental and may I pray for a heart that is indifferent where I neither like or dislike because I really don't know them for who they are, but I love them in the way God meant for me to.
