New Seniors

This little story reminds us of one of life’s truths.

A couple moves into a new neighborhood.

The next morning while they are eating breakfast the woman sees her neighbor hanging laundry on a clothesline. “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 woman would make the same comments.

About a 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.
