Never judge the outside

Clara Wersterfer didn’t know how to drive and so her husband drove her daily to work and then at the end of the day she would wait for him in the car, as he finished one hour after her. While she was waiting a beautiful blue car drove by and parked next to her. The man driving goes out and went for an errand while the woman in the passenger seat waited for him. She looked beautiful to Clara, with blue eyes and nice hair. She would smile at Clara and even waved at her before they left. After a few days meeting in the same place, Clara started to get jealous of that beautiful woman. She wondered where they lived, which restaurant they went to, and if they had any children. One day she got the answer to all these questions. Her husband came to her and opened her door as he got to the back of the car and brought out a wheel-chair. She had one prosthetic leg and walked with crutches, until she sat in her wheelchair. Clara felt sorry for her and yet her feet looked perfect on the outside. Clara’s husband told her that he knew her husband, and also knew his wife’s story. Clara would smile at her before they left. Apparently when she was 12 years old, she was with her parents when their car was hit by a train. Both  parents were killed and the girl suffered multiple injuries, that left her handicapped. The train company gave her a substantial amount of money, by which she could renovate her house to make it handicap-accessible. Clara kept meeting this lady frequently and became friends. But she also learned never to judge a person by what they look like on the outside. She thanked God that she had feet to walk and her good health to live independently without the help of others. Let us learn from this story to appreciate the gifts we have before desiring what others may have.
