We judge a good decision when we tell the person (who desires to eat healthier) to stay away from bananas because they aren't as good for you as you would think (but isn't a banana better than Doritos?).
We judge a good decision when we tell a family (who wants to adopt a child) they should be open to a child from a foreign country or a child with special needs (but isn't a family wanting to adopt at all better than not wanting to adopt?).
We judge a good decision when we tell the person (who wants to become a foster parent) she should be open to situations she's not comfortable with (but isn't a foster home who only wants specific situations better than not being a foster home?).
We judge a good decision when we tell the person (who wants to serve his local neighborhood or school) he should consider going overseas to do 'real' mission work where there is a 'real' need.
The thing is when a person or a family decides to make a good decision- whether it be the ones mentioned above or a host of others that reorient their priorities around how God wants them to live life for him and others, let's celebrate the decision for what it is- an incredible moment of a person following through on what God is telling them to do, rather than insinuating they should be doing something different, or 'more', or 'greater' with their decision.
Preach it.
