EYE LEVEL
By John Kerr

Jan was looking for something in the garage. She knew I had put it there a little earlier so it had to be there, but didn’t seem to be. When she was telling me about it she said, “You know that usually we put things on a shelf at eye level, but this was on the shelf above that.” I told her that I did put it on the shelf that was eye level.

As I remember, that very same day, Jan was telling me that we were out of something in the kitchen. I knew we weren’t and brought it into the living room to show her. She asked where it was and I said it was on the shelf at eye level. Our eye level shelves are not the same. As a matter of fact, Jan and I see a lot of things differently. All of us Christians see a lot of things differently.

            Romans 14: 2 One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. 3 The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. 4 Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.

5 One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. 6 Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7 For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. 8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. 9 For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.

            I love Jan even though our eye level is not the same.  When Jesus reiterates the second greatest command, to love our neighbor as we love ourself, we must understand that eye level will most likely not be the same for both of us, but should not affect our love for each other.

FILIGREE - ornamental work, especially of fine wire of gold.  See Exodus 28:11-13.  The word sounds like it could also be the record of ancestry of one of Kris's horses.

Come as you are and grow with us!
