You know I once saw a man in a store steal a pack of underwear and one of the cashiers chased him to try to retrieve the stole merchandise. It was sad actually because in a line full of people some people were making jokes and one man said something I was thinking. If he stole underwear he must need them. The man got away, but you never know what someone is going through and it really bothered me that people were actually laughing and making jokes.

Had he been younger I would be more inclined to feel sorry for him...but you would think by 19 he would have a more defined sense of right and wrong. I hope he was not stealing because he was destitute and needed the things. A lot of times today kids do that on a lark or on a dare and suffer the consequences of it with a muddied record. Too bad for both sides, I think. xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044188580228571201.post-70026628830182644732017-02-10T14:03:36.457-08:002017-02-10T14:03:36.457-08:00The photo is perfect for these words.

First, knowing what it's like to work retail and how "losses" affect the monthly payout, I can understand the cashiers point of view. Secondly (and it's a BIG one for me...things such as integrity, honesty come to mind. Third, at 19 the young man should take responsibility for his actions. We all have choices to make each and every day...some are wrong, some are right. Apparently he made a wrong choice that day. However, lets hope he makes the right ones going forward....:)JPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044188580228571201.post-6179277638384690622017-02-10T10:48:48.485-08:002017-02-10T10:48:48.485-08:00I came back to add a verse I was just reminded of....I came back to add a verse I was just reminded of. <br /><br />"There will be no mercy for those who have not shown mercy to others.

I try to give people, especially young teens, the benefit of the doubt. I don't think he would have chosen to steal if he didn't really need those clothes. <br /><br />Thank you, Sheri, for all your sweet visits to my blog.

Though I know in my heart that this is the ultimate truth, my mind often rushes toward anger when a student acts out or displays the same sort of behavior I displayed when I was in middle school. You are right; you are looking through the eyes of Christ, and though I profess to know and love Him, I forget and get angry when rules are broken, someone is injured because of someone's bad judgement, or when there is theft. I need to remember.
