Through the Window
I got this from an "aunt" of mine and thought it was a good reminder to all so thought I would share.
Through the Window
A young couple moves into a new neighborhood.
The next morning while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside.
"That laundry is not very clean", she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap"
Her husband looked on, but remained silent.
Everytime her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?"
The husband said, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."
And so it is with life. What we see when watching others, depends on the purity of the window through which WE look.
Before we give any criticism, wouldn't it be a good idea to check our own state of mind and then ask ourselves if we are ready to see the good rather than "looking for something" in the person we are about to judge.
I love this!!!! I am going to forward it to everyone I know. Thanks!
Ditto!
LOL The first thing I thought was "where did she get that husband? He WASHED THE WINDOWS!"
LOL
That entry had a good message too
