Snap Shots

I am talking to myself as I am posting this. At work I see so many different things and we (I) tend to make snap judgements or as Eddy would say "SNAP SHOTS". I don't like it when some people want to judge me but I guess I can be accused of the same thing.I walk by the cafe and see something that should be done so I want to say something but I have to remember I don't know the whole story so, I refrain from saying something. I wait and when I hear what has happened I am glad I didn't say anything (that is what I refer to when I say "SNAP SHOT".
This brings me to my next example, this person doesn't really know me but makes all these assumptions on what she has heard from one or two persons that knew me from 30 years ago( I would like to say I have changed over the years and even grew up quite a bit)and just because her life hasn't gone the way SHE THINKS IT OUGHT TO GO she says a lot of nasty comments and malicious things that she knows nothing of. I can do one of two things I can go down to her level and be like her or choose not to do anything and be the bigger person and let God deal with her. I choose the latter.I am far from perfect but I am trying to live my life as God wants me to. Now, like I have said in the past I make plenty of mistakes but that is how I am learning. I am a work in progress. The things I have done in the past are there in the past. I have asked God to forgive me and he has. I don't intentionally set out to hurt people I try to do what I can to be obedient to what God wants me to do. I stumble from time to time but God is always there to pick me back up. So I am not going to respond to whatever it is you want to throw at me but you will have HIM to answer to one of these days. I do sleep well at night and
do not at all feel any guilt!!!! Everything happens for a reason. So this is another SNAP SHOT, you think you know it but there is always two sides to everything. I am learning to wait and listen, not to be quick to respond and to try and get the information I need to deal with what is in front of me. Always , Always pray before responding.
