This was one of those days. Slow. Not very productive. Sat down at the computer early this morning to write, but nothing materialized. Made a breakfast for my family of hashbrowns and farm fresh eggs that I bought from my friend. There is nothing better than farm fresh eggs. Played with my grandson for awhile. Cut my husband’s hair. Watched church from home. Enjoyed a sunny day.

Since it is Sunday, let me leave you with a scripture and a thought.

David in the Old Testament was a keeper of sheep. He wasn’t as physically impressive as his seven older brothers. On the day when Samuel came to choose a new king for Israel, it didn’t seem worthwhile to include David among the possible candidates, so he was left out in the fields with the sheep. Looking at David, you might not have guessed that he would have the faith and courage to defeat a giant and become Israel’s most successful king.

But the Lord sees past our labels, our physical appearance, or insecurities. He looks, instead, on the heart.

1 Samuel 16:7: “But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature…for the Lord seeth not as a man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.”

Luke 6:37: “Judge not, and ye shall not be judged….”

Let’s all be a little less judgmental and a lot more understanding.

Have a great week!
