A lesson of how not to be.....

This morning we got up.... let me rephrase that. Tucker got up at 6AM and then "gradually" everyone else was up within about 15 minutes. :) Gotta love him. I, however, threw them some muffins and crawled back into my warm bed while they munched and watched cartoons.

After waking up Saturday AM to 4-6" of snow on the ground, I was not sure that I wanted to venture out this morning to church because of the roads. So, I messed around and got a real breakfast fixed and showered. About 9:30 the doorbell rang. It was a race to see who could get there the fastest. When we opened the door there was an Asian couple standing there with a hand full of literature. They looked quite puzzled when they saw me and the kids. They asked if my last name was "Kim". They explained that they were Jehovah Witnesses. (How did they find me.... the phone book?)

After I told them that there was not a Korean person living here, they politely left and went on there way. They told me that they were sorry they bothered me.

As a general rule, I do not like it when Jehovah Witnesses come to my door except for when they take me up on my offer to match them minute by minute with my sharing of what I believe. :) (big surprise...I am sure) That usually makes them turn right around. I did not even do that or mention anything this morning. Today, however, I was a little bit sad that these people just left without mentioning anything about their beliefs, without handing out any "Watchtower" or whatever. They just left. Could it be that they decided my soul did not matter if I was not of their kind? I hope not.

So, this brings me to my point. Do I do that? Do I turn around and run when someone does not meet my criteria for what I am looking for in a witnessee? I would hope not, but then again do I judge people by their appearance or their tongue before I even open my mouth about our precious Lord? I would jump at saying "NO", but is that the truth? I think that my heart's intent is for Christ to spill out on everyone that I come into contact with day by day, but that is also a test. I will have to put this into action this week.

It may be the person at the grocery store that I may never think to even make eye contact with that truly needs to see the Light. Maybe just a pleasant smile. My goal is to go into the world this week and find someone each day that I might have ignored yesterday if it had not been for that doorbell ring.

I encourage you to do the same. I am not going to beat anyone with my Bible... so don't worry.

So.... did those two not witness to me because I am a whitey or because they did not want me in their eternity? Maybe there is some other reason. Big question. By the way they definitely spoke English.

Red and Yellow, Black and White we are precious in His sight! Jesus loves the little children of the world....
Shine!

It actually blew me away to think that
