when we don't know

"So then, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." Colossians 3:12

As i walked around shelving books, i saw an exposed spine.  The top and pants of a student searching for a book did not meet. A good 3-4 inches gap was exposing her spine and more.  Fortunately, i had an extra shirt in my desk and offered it to her. She thanked me and put it on.

I quickly sought out her teacher to share the incident with her.  She explained both parents of the student work third shift.  It was up to the student to set an alarm, dress and get to the bus stop on time.  Mind you we are talking of a young elementary student.  I had no clue of the challenges this student faced.

In most instances, we hardly ever know another person's whole story. So, when we have the opportunity, may we do good to all. I don't know when it's ever the wrong choice.  

We can't help what someone else wears, but we do choose what we wear... on our body and in our heart.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,
