The Adventures of Lassie: Lassie and Her Day in The Sun; Lassie and The Daring Rescue; and Lassie Shows The Way (Authorized Edition - A Giant Little Golden Book)
This is one of my favorite books of all time. Lassie is observed in the morning, laying down in the front yard and then again in the evening, in the same place, by the same observer. He mentions that this is one lazy dog.
In actuality, the dog had saved peoples lives or enriched their lives in some manner through some kind of service.
How many times have we observed our neighbors and made some monumental judgment call and we were totally wrong. Of course, unless you later discovered your epiphany, you might never have learned this possible lesson.
Recently, while reading the scriptures I came to a verse, that reads, I would exhort you to have patience, and that ye bear with all manner of afflictions; that ye do not revile against those who do cast you out because of your exceeding poverty, lest ye become sinners like unto them. I then realized that I need to forgive those who have been judgmental of me, not knowing my financial condition at the time.
