The window through which we look

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.

Every time 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.

So often it is true,

the something we see wrong in others

is often true of ourselves.

There is a lot of wisdom in those words.

Thank you for posting that MrsK. :-4

Thanks for sharing, Mrsk. :)

Makes you consider the comment made by some, "I don't do windows.";)
