Hi! Marion.... as usual you've stired some emotions in our fellow mwmbers and I for one have been in several awkward situations like this, but a few citizens have not taken to "Judging a Book by It's Cover" attitude and found that it's a little harder to judge when it's your family or family members. I think we all need to show our love to others all the time and not just when it may be convenient. There is always someone you can pray for or help with a kind deed! Thanks again for your Sunday Smile, and may God give you his blessings. Have a great Sunday everyone! Davy

Hi Marion Sorry I'm late I injoyed that story a whole lot. The followers of Jesus were not dressed in suits and also sat on the floor to hear the wisdom of Jesus. Therefore: let us not be judged by our status but by the goodness of the soul.

Hello My Dear Friends, Some outstanding replys here. I praise you all for understanding the moral of this story. You know, it really upsets me when someone looks down on someone else and passes judgement on them. Everyone is welcome at our church regardless of what kind of clothes they wear or what race they are and I love that. We have people coming in dressed in anything from suits and dresses to shorts and t-shirts and we love each and every one of them. Arthur, you were not too late. It is never too late to come here and read. You are all always welcome! Even if it is years from now. :-) Thank you all for being my friends and stopping by. God, Jesus and I love you very much! God Bless You! Marion

Hi Marion, Thank you for your Sunday Smile. I actually heard a minister tell this story awhile back. What that elderly deacon did was set a good example for us. We need to love one another, and not to be be self-centered, but look out for others; in doing this we imitate Jesus. All the best to you, Leonard Berghoef

Amen Leonard, well put! Thank you for stopping by and your reply. My best to you as well. Blessings, Marion
