Be a Blessing: Be Tolerant of Others

Tolerance of Others

Definition: Willingness or ability to accept the views, beliefs, practices, etc., of others that differ from one's own; freedom from bigotry (bias, discrimination) or prejudice. In the Bible, long-suffering, patience, and forbearance are all closely related to tolerance of others.

Never judge someone 
By the way he looks 
Or a book by the way it's covered; 
For inside those tattered pages, 
There's a lot to be discovered” 
― Stephen Cosgrove

I love this quote  it is so true and one we must practice daily in our lives... how quick are we to see someone on the street perhaps dressed shabbily and we judge them on their dress  or their race or other factors :-( .  Always remember for everyone that judges another there is  someone out there  judges you too.And when you hear them or find out , it hurts ... it stings... why would you wish to inflict this on another that is your  human brother /sister. We are all family every last one of us on the face of this earth. It doesnt matter  our color... our religion... our political affiliations... we are all family. My blessing lesson for today.. be a Blessing Be tolerant ... Do not  pre -judge. before you really know them and  have been in their shoes.  God bless, Barb Gadway
