Good Morning!
REV JIM CAIN


My Sister-in-law was taking a flight from Birmingham out to Wyoming to see her in-laws.

Being early, she purchased a pack of cookies from the snack shop and settled down in the waiting area to read a novel she had in her purse. While reading, she noticed the man sitting next to her was eating a cookie. Looking down she was surprised to see her package of cookies had been opened and the man was eating them.

Though outraged that the man would open her cookies and start eating them, she said nothing sitting there quietly, munching on her cookie when to her amazement the man took another cookie. Now furious, Jackie took all the cookies from the package and ate them.

Later that day, she reached into her purse and found, much to her own dismay her unopened package of cookies lying at the bottom of her purse. Embarrassed, she realized that she was guilty of the very thing she thought the man had been doing to her. Jumping to conclusions opens ourselves up to mistakes or as it says in Matthew 7:1, “Do not judged lest you be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.”
