Be careful when you judge someone…..

About fifty years ago, a preacher was riding a train, studying for his Sunday sermon. Across the aisle from him, a two-year-old girl was being obnoxiously loud, throwing a temper tantrum, and crying. Finally, in his frustration, the preacher said to the woman with the baby, “Madam, please control your child.”
“She’s not my child, sir,” the woman answered.
“Well, is her mother on board?”
“Yes. She’s on board,” answered the woman. “She’s in the next car, in the cargo department—in a casket.”
Feeling totally humiliated, the preacher spent the rest of the journey tending the crying baby as best he could.

I found that little story while preparing for my lesson tomorrow. Isn’t it so true? How often am I guilty of judging the actions of another without learning about or recognizing the cause?
