Unconditional Love

It's so easy for me to be judgemental. Truth is I confess this sin everytime at confession. I've even bought and read portions of books about Mother Teresa, hoping to glean a bit of her humbleness and unconditional love for people. Here in blogosphere, everyone is confessing their motherhood mishaps. You know the times when you felt like the worst mother in the world. The candy for breakfast, screaming tantrums, TV babysitters, etc. I just so happened to read this very touching book to my children today, Sidney and Norman: a tale of two pigs by Phil Vischer (Veggie Tale creator). I cried, they didn't really know why, but I did. It's because I can be so judgemental. I'm "Norman". I'm smart, go to church every Sunday, dress neatly, have won numerous awards and am judgemental. All the people of this world who drive me crazy are the Sidneys. They are messy, uneducated, smoke cigarettes, have health problems and show others unconditional love. As I write, I cry. Why am I so judgemental? What can I possibly think makes me any better than anyone else? I have my work cut out for me during prayer time. This book is not to be missed; be sure to read the last two pages written especially for parents.
