Looking at Ourselves First

How’s your eyesight?…

The funny thing is, no one ever asks me what’s wrong with them, yet my head likes to show me what it sees that is wrong with others. 


Thank goodness I am used to this twisted thinking and for the most part manage to keep my opinions to myself, and my mouth shut.

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?” Matthew 7:3 


Have a blessed day Y’all!
