unfairness? judgemental? opportunities for change? rejoicing in these opportunities

Some life experiences seem totally unfair or skewed. Like Aaron not truly being worthy, but still taking the sacrament to the home bound. He did it with Aidan for the first time today. Lauren orchestrated the calls to go do it so Aidan could have s positive experience administering the Sacrament. 
Lauren strongly felt the unfairness of it all today
During Sacrament today, I thought of this. Oh how envy, negativity, lashing out can sneak up at any time especially for those of us with depression. It is not our place to judge who is worthy. If they are not blatantly spreading evil or criticizing the Church, then they can do all the things a truly worthy person can do. Our challenge is to accept that unfairness. 

Those we deam "unworthy" may soon have a tremendous opportunity to change for the better. The Lord gives ALL of us innumerable chances to be better. We should rejoice that we all have the gift of repentance, and not allow our blood to boil over life's unfairness.
