147. Auto! Howya? Long time no see!
Did I ever share my Mom's little sampler she had up in our Kitchen when I was little?

There's a little bit of good
in the least of us.

And a little bit of bad
in the best of us.

So it hardly behooves
ANY of us

To talk about the
REST of us.


She was dead probably 5-6 years when I read a Sci-Fi book and it dawned on me that this little sampler is partly based on pagan philosophy.

Still, what I took from it was that God sees us as who we are and that we are all lovable in His eyes even if we make mistakes. And that the mistakes that people think are SO big may not necessarily be anything that God can't help a person with.

I also thought that it implied the whole, get the log out of your own eye and don't worry about the mote in your neighbor's eye.
