GET UP
“You’re blocking the way, sir,” said the usher to a man sprawled in the aisle of a movie theater. “Please get up.”
The man didn’t move or reply. The usher called the manager over, who said, “I must ask you to move.”
Still the prone man didn’t reply. So the manager called the police. “Get up or I’ll have to take you in,” the officer said. “Where did you come from, anyway?”
The man finally stirred and said, “The balcony.”
Have you ever felt condemnation toward another who was down and out? How can we judge someone when we haven’t walked in their shoes or understood what they have gone through that brought them to that place? Let’s be a little more understanding. Our job is not to judge, but to assist others on their spiritual journey. How are you helping?
