{take a peek at my images from my last post to see what I mean } As we stumble through life it is always nice to
see the complete picture...
but
many times it
does not work out that way...
remember not to judge
remember not to judge
anyone or anything
by bits of information....
wait until you can clearly see
and understand
the whole picture
*
the bus story in point form ....
-a women on the bus
watching a man with his 3 children
-the children were misbehaving
... disturbing the entire bus
-the passengers where getting more and more upset by the minute
-how could this Father
just sit there
ignoring the
horrible behaviour of his children?
-the lady could not take it any longer
-she got up and went over to the man
telling him how horrified she was
with the behaviour of his children...couldn't he
see the whole bus was annoyed...why didn't he do something?
-the man looked up and replied,
"my wife just passed away yesterday"
{a perfect example of not seeing the whole picture}

Beautiful images as usual.
Love the bus story. An important reminder not to judge someone and their situation too quickly.
Happy Weekend!
Wow . . . I love this! You're so clever to give the pieces yesterday and the whole picture today : ). Very good lesson!

Yes your words are so true today....as always.........love love love Ria......xxxxx....
Love this Koralee - the picture and the truth in the story...thank you for the reminder :)
It's so true..most things has a naturally 'explanation'..Love Eva
What can I say? This is the greatest post I've read this week or better yet this month. You keep doing what you're doing, lovely lady. We'll keep doing what we're doing too, popping by and soaking in all your bluebird JOY.
Lots of love for the weekend! xxxx
it's so important to know the whole story,
thank you for showing us.
Greeting IrmaXXX
It is very important to realize we may not know the whole picture, so we need to keep that in mind before we open make our own comments. This story is incredible in it's own way and just reminds us to have a caring heart, to be sensitive and to be understanding with those around us. Great post Koralee! Xoxoxo
So honest and so the truth! Thank you for being our little angel in blogland~~~

How amazing and honest! I love reading your blog and looking at your photos, I think you're truly inspiring!
xx
That picture is too lovely! And yes, there are times that we miss to see the big picture and yet we are already starting to judge them. Have a gorgeous day, Kellie xx
I love the books :) Happy weekend!
That is a lesson I
learned long ago...
You NEVER really know
what someone might be
going through....Be it
a jerk speeding too
fast on the expressway
{maybe he has a very
sick toddler on the way
to the hospital} or the
crabby check-out clerk
{maybe her kitty is at
home, very ill}...You
just don't KNOW. Thank
you for the very sweet
reminder with the very
beautiful photos to go
along with it!
Happy Weekend,
xx Suzanne
WOW. i have learned and continue to learn... do not judge...
you never know.. this is truly heartbreaking..
wishing you a delightful weekend sweet friend... xoxo
Oh, my things are often not what they appear to be.
You are truly a lovely lady.
Hugs...Cory/Dogwood
WOW.
I love this, Koralee. You are full of talent, wisdom and love. How can one person be so gifted? Ahhhhh....what a joy YOU are my dearest Koralee!
Teeeeeheeee...today was a WILD DAY...I never made it to Suzanne's. I got lost, circumnavigated The Twin Cities and had a minor car accident.I never found her house!!! We did talk and her lovely lunch is now her dinner!!!!!!!
Oh dear, Mapquest just ISN'T FOR ME! I hope Suzanne will see the WHOLE picture one day! She is so kind.....
THANK YOU PRECIOUS FOR YOUR COMMENTS! Did you love the pink tub?????
HAVE A SPLENDID DAY and I will remember THE WHOLE PICTURE...
Have you ever seen that video clip with the kids playing basket ball and the GORILLA SUIT? I must find it and post it. It talks about what you are addressing.
GROSSES BISES! Anita
this is so convicting, as i have made so many hasty
judgments. last night we watched "signs" and the
family was so broken by the passing of the mother.
poor, poor man.
thank you, gentle mercy motivated one.
So true. Something similar happened to me with a foster(later adopted)son of ours. I never honk at people for not moving fast enough. I always think they could have had a really bad day. That's just an example. WIsh others would give people a break sometimes. Thanks for posting.
There's another old saying out there that says you can't know what another is going through until you walk a mile in his shoes and this story is a prime illustration of that. Thank you for the reminder to be a bit more tolerant.
I agree with sweet Saskia, the best post I have read this month! Koralee, I totaly agree with every single word you wrote! So right!
The image is amazing!! Much love to you, dear!! Bela
oh, koralee,
your posts are always such an Rx of sunshine, warm thoughts and a positive outlook.
i love your contribution to where women cook. adorable and fun!
cheers, hugs and cupcakes to you!

I often wonder about other people on the bus. Everyone acts so distant and very quiet in the mornings.
Hope you're having an lovely weekend!
- xo, Vanessa Elizabeth
Very true!
I just adore the books and pretty plate in your picture.
Big hugs DJ
What a SWEET lesson Koralee!
Thank you!
Your words are like CANDY to the SOUL!
I LOVE your HEART~

Years ago, when I worked in retail, a lady came in to return something and she was very grumpy and very rude to me. Later I found out that she had lost her little daughter the week before. It taught me very early in my life to be carful how I react to people. You never know...But, I Still need reminders!
Thank you for this reminder Kind & Sweet Koralee. :)

Hi Koralee!
Your words are true and your images for the last two days create such a metaphor ~ such an example of this truth.
Sometimes, a gentle reply {rather than a "well deserved" retort} can calm and soothe a hurting soul. Such a beautiful post, Koralee ~
So many here agree, it is truly a lesson to learn and you have taught it so well dear ♥
~lots of sweetness for your Sunday, tomorrow!

Judging is what I could do best. I realized that is the one thing I am scared mostly for others to do against me. Look at me and judge. It also can go further as you look at the pretty box...it could have something which is not appealing.
Found this qoute: If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Have a great weekend. Lisa
Brillant posting sweetie. What a great story to remember always. I love how you show your cropping expertise. But, then I love them all whether the whole big pictures, or just snippets.
Night-ie-Night,
Kate
Wow that was a strong lesson and one i think everybody should learn from. Beautiful image's as always to. have a lovely sunday, dee x
HAPPY SUNDAY PRECIOUS ONE!
Oh, may your day be filled with peace and love, Anita
Koralee, this is so touching, it's so easy to make a snap judgement about other people without ever considering what is going on in their lives. Have a wonderful Sunday, girlfriend. xxx susan
OMG, that story just illustrates that we have to do our best not to judge and be more understanding. Have a beautiful weekend, Koralee.
Lovely things! Really beautiful colours. :)
We never really know what is happening inside someone's head, do we? I won't forget this story.
lessons learned long ago... you just never know the trials people are facing.
With Kindness and Love,
Mary
This story is so
good! I must share it! ;)
Love this. I always have to remind myself of this...especially when it comes to grouchy people. I tell myself to give them grace, because maybe something really sad just happened to them. You just never know :)
i have heard this story before and it is such a good message. i learned such a valuable lesson after my divorce about not judging. only the lord will be able to judge us - he knows our heart, others do not. cute picture koralee. xoxo
