Lisa: You are right. Sometimes we jump to conclusions that are incorrect. I have a friend at church that is very different than I. She has a “muscular disease” that she wasn’t told the name of for several years. She has several children; I have one child. She is divorced; I am married. There are certain questions I would never ask her. Because she would probably think I was judging her. Peace and blessings to you and yours.

I love the idea of jumping to grace instead of conclusions.

Here I am a week late to commenting. Uggh..no WCS for me this week as we’re on vacation but I’m taking time in the quiet mornings to comment. I have totally done this…a lady came into work and she clearly looked of a hispanic ethnicity and there was another person who didn’t speak english and I asked if she knew spanish or something like that. She actually didn’t and I don’t even think she was of mexican decent. I felt so dumb. I apologized and she gave the same answer. You just don’t know. and they could very well have that ethnicity but born and raised here so yes, american.

This is such a beautiful lesson for us all to learn from. “In the future, I want to jump quicker to grace and tread slower to conclusions.” Me too! I am so very grateful for the Edwards in our lives!

A great lesson – it’s so relevant to what’s happening at present in your country.
In India, there’s so much of hatred being spewed over the religion, food choices, language of other Indians. Only Grace can save us all. Thank you for your always thoughtful posts, Lisa.

dear Lisa, more than ever our default mode seems to be to jump rather than to pause and consider. thank you for this nudge toward kindness and consideration, friend.
