Me:\u00a0 Howdy Prodigal and Lion!<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 Howdy we have come to hear a story that my friend can relate too!<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 I hope it helps!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This come from the book God’s Little Devotional Book for Women<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Birds sing….and never have to apologize for their songs.<\/p>\n

Dogs bark and kittens meow…and never have to say, “I’m sorry for what I just said.”<\/p>\n

Lions roar and hyenas howl…but they never have to retract their statements as being untrue.<\/p>\n

The fact is, the members of the animal kingdom are themselves, and they are true in their expression to what they were created to be.<\/p>\n

Many times we human beings find ourselves embarrassed at our own words–feeling apologetic, caught in an awkward moment, or recognizing we have spoken the wrong words at the wrong time–because we have begun evaluating the performance of others and develop a critical attitude.<\/p>\n

The blue jay doesn’t criticize the robin.\u00a0 The kitten doesn’t make snide remarks about the puppy.\u00a0 The lion doesn’t ridicule the hyena.\u00a0 In like manner, we should not put down others whom we can never fully understand, never fully appreciate, or never fully emulate.<\/p>\n

Stick to singing your own song today, and appreciate the uniqueness of those around you.\u00a0 You will easily avoid putting your foot in your mouth!<\/p>\n

The heart of the righteous weighs its answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil.\u00a0 Proverbs 15:28<\/p>\n
