Not too long ago these flowers made me think of summer. Someone came along with a weed wacker and did them in. I guess they would be dead soon anyway. Autumn is a great season, and I can enjoy it if I don't compare it to summer. They are different, but just as beautiful if I look at them the way God intended them to be.

People can be seen in the same way. Not one of us is the same as any other; each meant to be enjoyed in a different way. We get in trouble when we compare one against another. "You're not like so and so." That"s right! It is a good thing too, because it we were all the same or even too similar to one another we would be bored to tears.

What I love about my husband is that he is so different than me. I still giggle at the silly things he says, and the crazy things he says! Mostly because I would never say anything like what he does. He is so unique and before I meant him, I never knew anyone like him before. I was hooked after I got over the shock that he was like this all the time!

Ask God to show you the good side of everyone. Find something that you can pray about for that person. Show them the same kindness that Jesus has shown you. Sometimes that person who is negative or hurtful only needs you to show them some care, before they open up and show their true need for Jesus.    "They wandered in the wilderness in a desolate way; They found no city to dwell in. Hungry and thirsty, Their souls fainted in them. Then they cried out to the Lord, in their trouble, And He led them forth by the right way, That they might go to a city for a dwelling place. {Psalm 107:4-7}
