Perspective, judgement

I got an email from my friend this morning that I wanted to share. It goes like this...


Things aren't what they appear to be.


A young couple moves into a new neighborhood.

The next morning, while they are eating breakfast,
the young woman sees the neighbor hang up the wash outside.
"That laundry is not very clean, she said, she doesn't know
how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs another laundry soap.
The husband looked on, but remained silent.
Every time her neighbor would hang out the wash, the young woman
would make the same comment.
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?
To which her husband replied........... "I got up early this morning and washed the
windows.
And so it is with life: What we see while watching others,
depends on the purity of the window through which we look through.


I am wishing you all clean windows this morning!

Good thoughts, Brenda.... Maybe we all should make sure our windows are clean before passing judgements.... thanks.
