I have a project for myself improvement. I am going to practice being more grateful and less judgmental about people and their circumstances after all, every circumstance can and most likely will change again and again. I have also decided to show the same courteous practice to myself. To try to see myself through the eyes of Jesus and how He sees me. He does not see the MS or the myriad of other diagnosis He does not see the excess weight,or the things I can't do anymore but He sees the creation that is FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE. Wow he said that about me and YOU!!!

120 or 250 pounds I am still the same heart,soul and reborn spirit regardless of the number on the scale. Thank you Lord for loving me in all my imperfections. May I extend that same generosity to everyone else I come a cross and may I never again, even allow a judgmental thought come into my mind. You know that I will have to have your help in this area. But I make the decision now and In the name of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit I will achieve this.
 
I have a lot of work to do I can not expect out of others what I have not or will not do myself. This is what the Lord has been showing me lately. Sometimes life is just one huge classroom in school you don't notice others pains until you, yourself are feeling hurt by the same type of pain. Not the best way to learn but effective.

I am beginning to see that we judge more harshly on things that we see and dislike in ourselves, in others lives. Always pointing out the stone in some one Else's eye while trying to keep you from seeing that plank in my own. Jesus warn us. I have often wonder if I have always been this judgmental and just now recognizing it for what it is. Or is this a problem that has gotton worse since I have so much time on my hands. Or maybe its just that I have so much for people to judge as less than, than when I was a corporate thin healthy woman,raising the kids, running husbands business and now to just being there for my adult daughters and the 18 year old still at home. Society has made a picture of what success is. But It is not the same picture for every person. And I am glad that's its not . As Forrest Gimp said " Life is a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get" and Praise God it is that way.  That would be a sad.

Please pray for the released slaves of the Sudan and Congo, they need our prayers for we as Christians are buying their freedom for a $30.00 cow shot to keep them healthy. $30, that is what the born again believers in Jesus Christ are worth to their masters there. TO GOD and us PRICELESS!!!

They are coming back to their home villages all over the country that are burned completely out, no vegetation will grow in the drought, mother are forced to fine hard leaves off what tree are left and boil this for their children to drink to give them a bit of nourishment.  You know when we measure our lives against this we must say that we have NEVER had a bad day in our lives. Perception is what we all need abit more here in our country. I for one am going to make a conscious effort to change this in myself I challenge us all to do the same. And send any thing you can to any charity that you trust that is doing the Lord's work in this area.

GUILTY! but FORGIVEN!!
