God Bless

Good Morning to you all. Felling good about myself. I received this from a cousin of mine and finally learned how to add pictures to a post. I pray you enjoy and the post will give you good thoughts for this day.


A serviceman once wrote about a moment of comedy he had witnessed
in the army. It happened during a company inspection at the Redstone
Arsenal in Alabama.

The inspection was being conducted by a full colonel. Everything had
gone smoothly until the officer came to a certain soldier, looked
him up and down and snapped, "Button that pocket, trooper!"
The soldier, more than a little rattled, stammered, "Right now, sir?" "Of
course, right now!" was the reply. Whereupon the soldier very carefully
reached out and buttoned the flap on the colonel's shirt pocket.

The officer had been quick to note the youngster's uniform problem, but
hadn't noticed his own. For some reason, we seem to be the same way.
The faults of others stick out like a missing tooth, while our own are often
hard to spot. Small specks in other people seem major, while the planks
in our own eye seem excusable (Matt 7:1-5). Let's quit dwelling on the
faults of others all the time. The church needs builders and workers-not a
wrecking crew. Work on your own faults, then seek to help others in a
spirit of gentleness.
