the window through which we look



A young couple moved into a new neighborhood
The next morning while they were eating breakfast,
The young woman saw 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.

I hope that you have a very blessed day!

That is amazing CJ. I know I need to wash my windows. In the manner of which you speak. What a great moral.

That clothesline is cute too :) I hope you are feeling better this week.

I hope you are feeling okay. Only a few posts in a couple days. I hope the meds aren't working their D magic again!

Good story! I'm sure that I've said that same thing a few too many times.

That really was a great story and reminds us to examine ourselves, before coming down on others.

Rachel said...

That's an awesome story! I can just feel that "oh shnikeys, I'm a big fat jerk" moment. Ouch!

Melissa P said...

That is a good reminder of not judging others. I think we all (myself too often) do things like that. Thanks for sharing the story.

That reminds me of the old woman who fussed at her husband everyday for getting toothpaste on the mirror. And he would clean it up for her, without complaining.
Then one day, he passed away. The next time she got up to brush her teeth, she saw the toothpaste on the mirror again. Then she realized she had fussed at him all that time, and her was that was getting it on the mirror and not him afterall.

This is a good one too...thanks for posting it. :)

Apparently I can't type...

*and it was her, who had been getting it on the mirror*

Love this story. For a chronic comparer for me, it is perfect. However, I often find myself on the other side of the dirty window, imagining that I never measure up...we would all benefit so much form not comparing or judging, and just loving, like Jesus!

Sherry said...

A lesson, we can all learn from! Thanks!!
