The Window Through Which We Look...
« on: November 19, 2010, 12:13:19 pm »
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.

How CLEAN are my windows?

Good one GB! I think we would all do better if we cleaned our own windows before commenting on someones life.

That is what I like about this site. It is like a separated family that can't wait to meet. We each have our own insecurities about our work, but we are not afraid to put it out there knowing we will be encouraged or have our "dumb" questions answered ( maybe for the 100th time for some of you!). Even on a bad day some one is there to pick you up. When the fun starts it really gets going! I find myself holding my sides and crying. :)

You all are GREAT! Most of you have pretty clean windows! The rest of you...well its probably the saw dust!  ;D   Harold
