I would be honest, for there are those who trust me. --Howard Arnold Walter
Some of those around us seem to see only the good in us. They trust and respect us, even when we ourselves may not feel we deserve it.
A young girl once talked about her grandfather. She said, "He was the only person in my life who saw the good in me." She mentioned that she sought to please her grandfather and not disappoint the trust which he placed in her. He brought out the best in her because of the way that he looked at her. Each of us can be like this grandfather by focusing on the good in other people. We can use our spiritual eyes to see love, honesty, trustworthiness, and unselfishness in the heart of another. As we look for the good, we are doing our part to help create it.
Do I see the good in those around me right now?

Good one Pappy! I can relate. If I want things to look different, I have to change the way that I look at things. Change the lenses in our glasses. Thanks for the reminder.
And thanks to both of you Pappy and Mike B., for helping me realize I cannot help others until I do see "love, honesty, trustworthiness, and unselfishness in the heart of another" and change my lenses in my glasses. (Hmmm...I have been putting off going to the eye doctor for ages and my eyesight is getting worse and worse. Perhaps it is an unconscious thing I have going which is connected to your posts???)
