Day 24 - Words of Wisdom

I am grateful that there are people in the world much wiser than I am and that, through their caring, are able to speak words of wisdom for everyone else to hear.

The quote I read and that helped me decide on today's grateful thought is the following:

"Broken minds can be healed just the way broken bones and broken hearts are healed. While God is at work making those repairs, the rest of us can help by being merciful, nonjudgmental, and kind." - Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

I am grateful for these words as one of my weaknesses is passing judgment. I have improved and I am not as quick at judging others as in the past, but I still have a long way to go.

I don't know your story and, therefore, I cannot judge on why you made one decision instead of another. I cannot decide if your situation is better or worse than mine.

If I have judged you and, therefore, withheld my mercy and kindness, I ask for your forgiveness.

May we all look at each other as the Savior would look at us and may we extend mercy, kindness, compassion, and love just like He would.
