My view from "The Chair" this morning - Matthew 7:12.  Easy words to read.  Not always easy words to live by.  I always want mercy, grace, love, and generosity extended to me, especially in times of need.  However, I hate to admit it, but more often than I would like to admit to, I find myself wanting to judge; be upset; or even stingy when looking at others and the situations they find themselves in.  This morning I am asking the Lord to help this verse be my first filter when looking at situations or people.  These beautiful, hand knit socks were an unexpected gift of hope
