*** Hello Everyone! Well, that cold front that was forecasted actually came with non-freezing temperatures and some rain. I was able to let a few windows up in my home to “air it out”. I welcomed both the sunshine and the rain/cooler temperatures believing Romans 8:28: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose”. #CountingMyBlessings

Reflections:
*On Judging Others:
Remember to treat each other the way that you want to be treated. Let’s not be quick to judge the actions of others because we are all human and we all make mistakes. Micah 6:8 (NIV) states, “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God”. It does me a lot of good to frequently meditate on these words and I hope they help you. “For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. (James 2:13 NKJV).
