Judgments

Chad has a co-worker that has seemingly everything. Him and his wife bought a very nice house 5 minutes away from both sets of parents. And yada yada yada.... From my point of view they have the easy life.

6 months ago they had their second perfect little girl. They took her to her 6 month check up that lead them on a fast pace heart rending story ending in the ICU at Primary Children's with their daughter in the heart failure category. They face at least a month there with possible heart transplants and even harder statistics.

And I got slapped in the face with guilt and sorrow. How dare I look at someone else and pretend to know their trials? They have a past I don't understand along with a future none of us know.

I had to tell someone my lesson. Maybe me. Putting it in writing cements it. So tonight while I think about the blessing of Chad's grandma facing the end in a few days surrounded by her children and kiss my own dear kids, I hope this sinks in. Stop judging, and love. Love them all because we all have our own hidden sorrows. And we are all God's children.
