Never Quite Satisfied...

We have had an unusual amount of snow and ice this winter in the state where I live. Oh we usually have some snow and usually schools are closed for a few days but this winter has been a bit more severe than any I remember here in recent years (and I've lived in this area for about 20 years). And I must admit that I am one these people who complains about the weather! It's either too cold, too hot, too rainy or, recently too SNOWY! Why is it that we are never quite satisfied with the weather? I mean we really have NO control over it and we speak of it as if when we do our speaking of it will change it to our liking!
But you know we are like that in our expectation of other people too. It is so very easy to find the splinter in someone else's eye when we have an entire board in our eye! (Jesus said that you know!). And yet we sometimes knit pick over what we consider to be someone's "shortcomings" without regard to the damage we do to them in the inside. We can only hope that someone doesn't treat US in the same way!
I believe the Bible calls this irrational, unjust judgment "bearing false witness." And a wonderful Episcopalian Priest that I know says that "bearing false witness" means "saying negative things about someone else when you yourself don't know what the h--- you're talking about!" (He can use the h word cause he's Episcopalian AND he's retired!).
You might also remember that Jesus said "do not judge lest ye be judged!" And my mama used to say that when you point a finger at someone else remember "that there are at least three fingers pointing back at you!"
All I'm saying here is that I think it would "behoove" us to practice the Golden Rule a little more often. Because if we choose NOT too there is another old saying that will apply to us and that is "what goes around comes around!"
Find some good in someone.
