Monday arrived right on time and it is as expected going to be a busy one for me. I just finished praying and took my mug of Door County Candy Cane Coffee to the den and now it is time to write.
Today I want to talk about microscopes. I have attached the definition . Credit Wikipedia
mi·cro·scope
/ˈmīkrəˌskōp/
noun
- an optical instrument used for viewing very small objects, such as mineral samples or animal or plant cells, typically magnified several hundred times.
But today I want to talk about the microscopes we have in our eyes that are attached to our hearts. Some of us tend to over examine other people and their motives in life. We look through the lens of pettiness, which has us unable to overlook small things of no consequence in others. We make a big deal over nothing and often hold others to standards we do not expect of ourselves. Parents need to pay particular attention to not over scrutinizing our children comparing them to others. We expect what they cannot deliver at times and then criticize them for their inabilities.
Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that you be not judged.
I hate to blow up your minds here but somethings just aren't that important. The battery in the car does not run dead when left on and the car is turned off. There are bigger things to make a huge deal out of. Put away the microscopes unless you want to be judged through one yourself.
So for today, let's all be real. It will make for a better Monday.
Marty
