It is hard to part with them & I won't be terribly disappointed if they have to come back Home with me. *Winks* I can certainly relate to your Post today... though I always try not to be judgmental, sometimes we subconsciously do it and I am always personally & Spiritually convicted when my assumptions have been incorrect about someone before they reveal their Character. At the Laundromat the other day a very thin young man with Gang Tattoos approached me & immediately I made an assumption about him, being guarded & not sure of his intent... turns out he was offering to unload my heavy baskets of laundry from the truck when he saw me struggling with them & was very respectful & polite & carried them all inside... guys who didn't look as 'hard' had ignored me struggling with the load... just goes to show ya that you cannot always judge a book by its cover or perceived content. I felt really badly for judging this young man merely on how he visually presented to my incorrect perception about him.<br /><br />Blessings from the Arizona Desert... Dawn...

We had a similar experience many years ago when I first met my son's 5th grade teacher. She was dressed different and had plants and a snake in the room. I actually wanted to have him transferred to another class. I didn't thank heavens; she was an outstanding teacher and broadened his life in many ways. We all need reminders on this one.LeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107717294803352571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-14826569896216485162012-05-04T13:51:36.388-07:002012-05-04T13:51:36.388-07:00Marie, Thanks for your comment.Marie, Thanks for your comment.Galen Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189831838630645863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-69474120979517182712012-05-04T13:51:12.791-07:002012-05-04T13:51:12.791-07:00Vidya, Thanks for commenting on Alex's site. ...Vidya, Thanks for commenting on Alex's site.
