Life is life…there are moments of fun and excitement that are accented by times of frustration and pain. Life has its ups and downs. During the rough periods of our life, we at times compare our life to others. We reason in our minds that the other person’s life seems so much easier and better than ours. But if we were to take a closer look at that person’s life, we would see that their life has its ups and downs too. There is a saying that says, “You have no idea what I am going through because you haven’t walked in my shoes.” We all have good days and bad. And we never really know what another person is going through. Maybe we need to remember that and be kind and more forgiving, showing mercy to all people in all situations. James 2:13 tells us, “Judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy.” It is something to think about. God Bless. Amen.
