what I hate.

I’m
waiting in lines this morning at the airport:
bag drop, security and boarding. I
actually enjoy people watching. All

My
mind immediately categorizes. Why can’t
I stop this? I know God looks at the
heart and not external appearances. I
know He treasures each of His precious children. Everyone has a story that I can’t see. I don’t want to drop people in buckets. I don’t want to feel superior, but I can’t
seem to control my mind. So this morning,
as I catch myself making a quick judgment, I instead smile and pray for that
person – for their struggles, for their trip, and for their heart to know they
are loved.
