If It Were Me
One summer at our family reunion, two men showed up claiming to be part of the family. We had no reason not to believe them even though none of us had ever seen them before. Not long after the meal started, I noticed that the bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken I brought was no longer on the table. I commented on how fast it had been eaten. My sister-in-law said, "No, those two men that claim to be relatives took it and put it in their car. They also took a cake and other items." Once it was realized they were there only to steal food, they were asked to leave. If It Were Me Many people are hungry, but they don't steal. If you're starving, you might for a meal. Ask yourself if it were me, what would I do? It's hard not to judge another's actions which is true, Open your heart to understand what can't be seen. Then you can know the truth and help fix the scene. Offer assistance or whatever their need happens to be. Remember but by the grace of God
