Helping Others

Last night Larry and I finally watched The Blind Side. I know it has been out for forever and we have actually had it from Netflix for a couple of months. We just don't watch a lot of TV any more. Anyway, It was a really good movie. It got me thinking about what I would do if I was in the same place as Leigh Ann was. Would I help out a fellow human being who just needed someone to care. My first thought was of course. But the more I thought about it the more I realized that I probably have encountered many people in my life who could just use some kindness and instead of kindness I judged them for what I saw. Don't get me wrong, I was not mean or cruel I was just blinded by my own prejudices to see the pain and struggles they were going through. When I saw myself in this light it reminded me that I have a long way to go to becoming truly Christ like. I need to work on this. I need to be able to see people the way that my Savior sees them and to love them instead of judging them. I hope that I am able to become the person that He would have me be.
