Not What they Seem

The pickle wedges may make your grilled cheese sandwich a little bitter, but definitely not sweet and covered in chocolate...

As I'm browsing through my twitter feed, I see this post. Amused by the continuing comments about how this picture is does not fit its label, I pause.  How many times in your life have you been mislabeled?  How many times have you mislabeled someone?  I remember sitting by the pool while my five year old son was taking swimming lessons and thinking "that lady over there has

nothing in common with me". Now, my son is 17 years old and she remains one of my best friends and prayer partners!
Sometimes things are not what they seem... This is the Law of Life.  We must embrace it!  There are so many missed opportunities or tough failures, because we fail to look deeper into what we observe on the surface.   If you are a person that will know whether you are going to like someone within the first few seconds you meet them, then you are selling yourself short.   There are amazing people and situations that you may fail to have in your life just because the grill cheese sandwich was not chocolate covered strawberries.   In my life, I have found that every person I meet is owed at least one of these three things: 
​#1
A little bit of your time - Try to understand why they have been placed in your life. If the situation is not harmful, give someone a little of your time.
#2

Prayer - We don't know that is going on inside of their world. Say a prayer when your heart leads you to, even if it is someone you meet briefly and do not know well.
#3 
A Smile - it takes more energy to frown than smile. Enough said!
​
This video is an excellent example.  Remember that God places people and experiences in your path for a purpose.  Understanding that purpose can be an amazing gift or a necessary lesson learned. =) Carla
