The following was posted on
Fr. Bryan Timby's facebook page:
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 doesn't know how to wash
correctly. Perhaps she needs better
laundry soap." Her husband looks
on, remaining silent. Every time her
neighbor hangs her wash to dry, the young woman makes the same comments. A
month later, the woman is surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and
says to her husband: "Look, she's
finally learned how to wash correctly. I
wonder who taught her this? " The
husband replies, "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 clarity of the window through
which we look.
How are your windows?
