It was far more gift than lesson. My description does the experience little justice but it's the best I can do.<br /><br />Ellen - I have always found Judas a fascinating character. He deserves far more meditation that he receives.Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584174478393760131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041802843110274347.post-80729591729792785122010-01-16T08:59:06.697-05:002010-01-16T08:59:06.697-05:00You know, I have always wondered at the ill will e...You know, I have always wondered at the ill will expressed toward Judas. If you think about it, Judas was the greatest of the apostles. He made the greatest sacrifice. He accepted his role knowing he would be reviled for it. If the point of Jesus' birth was his death to save mankind, then that death was inevitable and the manner of it necessary. Jesus accepted it and loved Judas the best. And I see your Mrs. Anderson knew it well.<br /><br />I wanted to thank you for visiting my blog via POTW. I only have that one little damselfly framed on cotton. All the rest sit out like I find them. My grandson bought that for me when he was very small at the little craft sale his elementary school help one year because he knew I would like it.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041802843110274347.post-20979104781640004882010-01-15T21:30:10.250-05:002010-01-15T21:30:10.250-05:00and through your story i see her beauty very clear...and through your story i see her beauty very clearly in my mind's eye. thank you for letting it shine before us.limehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259558876349307173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041802843110274347.post-75825725142867263072010-01-15T17:50:55.600-05:002010-01-15T17:50:55.600-05:00What a lovely post, Cricket.

I would normally say "Hell of a good story", but that would obviously have been incorrect under the circumstances.<br /><br />I constantly struggle with this sort of thing. I do believe I always come to the correct way of seeing folks, but it is almost never without first making some sort of snap judgment based on appearance. Considering my general lack of stunning handsomeness, I can only hope those who come into contact with ME also take the time to go beyond first impressions.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041802843110274347.post-88649025818464630862010-01-13T19:31:00.531-05:002010-01-13T19:31:00.531-05:00Brilliant lesson.

It is a funny thing, the least valuable part of our contribution to the world is our appearance, but it is the part that is judged by many as having great import. <br /><br />You are truly fortunate that you learned to look beyond that, when you were small. We can miss the best people in the world when we look at them only to judge whether or not they are pleasing only to the eye.Land of shimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671954452597068904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041802843110274347.post-85934627065838284272010-01-13T18:03:19.030-05:002010-01-13T18:03:19.030-05:00Beautiful, Cricket.
