matthew 7:5

“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.”

I have to admit that lately I have been feeling extremely "judged" by others. It's so strange that once you become a mom everyone has an opinion about how you live your life (& especially raise your child). While I honestly believe that Michael & I know what is best, I can't say that it doesn't hurt to hear that people think that certain things should be done differently... Even if it is just the type of sippy cup that little E drinks out of! haha!;)

Anyway, this has led me to examine my own life & to stop to think if maybe I am doing some "judging" of my own. Whether it be judging other mommies at the grocery store or park, or my own friends & family, I am going to be making a conscious effort to NOT judge the actions and lives of others. I know that only you can truly know your own motives.

Matthew 7:5 says,

"You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye."

Here's to attempting to take the log out of my own eye! :)

Thank you Lord for helping me where I fall short.

Goodnight,

Love.
