Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover

Yesterday I was at the home of a mom friend who has little ones, and their toys immediately brought back the memories of my own children as toddlers. An all-time favorite of Kristofer's was the Thomas the Tank Engine train series. My entire extended family became familiar with "thomas and friends". A cute little song stuck in my mind back then, and came ringing clear yesterday as well: Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover. That single Thomas video episode and accompanying song provided my husband and me with numerous teachable moments!

How funny that the simple lessons we try to teach our children can also sometimes either escape us as adults, or can level us quickly! There is a great challenge in attempting to not judge a person or situation by its "cover". Everyone has their own story line unfolding each moment, each day. I think I may go dig out that Thomas video from the basement...
