Do not judge, lest ye be judged...

As a nation, we are conditioned to look at the top layer to determine value.

This morning, I walked the kids to school.

The air was brisk, the morning sun was shining and the dew glistened from every blade of grass, thus creating a beautiful array of colors.
We walked slow, admiring everything up close and personal.
We greeted curious passerbys, staring on with as we "parked it" on the sidewalk here and there to talk about ... this and that...

Their eyes shone everytime we came upon an ant colony. We admired the intricate workings of ants and talked all about their "servitude". They live for nothing but the greater good of their society as a whole. Look at Proverbs 6:6-8, "Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and be wise! Even though they have no prince, governor, or ruler to make them work, they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter."

Isn't this interesting? Okay, so maybe I went off on a little tangent there, but go with me...

I can only hope that my little babies will retain their innocence and see the world through their childhood eyes for as long as they can.
Its better to look a little closer for the small things to determine value, than to judge the overall package at first glance.

I certainly learned alot this morning, and hope that you too will take a walk to notice God's beauty flourishing all around you.

Have a very wonderful day.
