A dog was so faithful that the woman could leave her baby with it & go out to attend to other matters. And she always returned to find the child soundly asleep, with the dog faithfully watching over him. But one day something tragic happened. The woman as usual, left the baby in the hands of this faithful dog & went out shopping. When she returned, she discovered a rather nasty scene, there was a total mess. The babys cot was dismantled; his nappies & clothes torn to shreds with blood stains all over the bedroom where she left the child & the dog. Shocked, the woman wailed as she began looking for the baby. All of a sudden, she saw the faithful dog emerging from under the bed. It was covered with blood and licking its mouth as it had just finished a delicious meal. The woman went berserk & assumed that the dog had devoured her baby. So without much thought, she beat the dog with a wood to death. But as she continued searching for theremains of her child, she beheld another scene. Close to the bed was the baby who, although lying on a bare floor, was safe, and under the bed was the body of a snake torn to pieces in what must have been a fierce battle between it & the dog which was now dead. Then reality dawned on the woman who now began to understand what took place in her absence. The dog fought to protect the baby from the ravenous snake. But it was too late for her now to make amends because in her impatience and anger,she had killed the faithful dog. How often have we misjudged people & torn them to shreds with harsh words and deeds before weve had time to evaluate the situation? It is called SIN OF PRESUMPTION Presuming things our way without taking the trouble to find out exactly what the situation really is. A little patience can drastically reduce major life long mistakes. So who are you misjudging right now? Dont think what you think others are thinking. Lets have the patience to take the time to get the whole truth. And may God help all of us in this direction. Amen. Share the LESSON! Take a second to fathom the situation before u act.... think
