What window do you look through? Proverbs 20:19

 Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!

  I came across the writing below in a place I would never have thought -- yes, I know - facebook.  However, it so relates to many things in our lives; gives us a look at our perspective.  My perspective, your perspective of what we see and hear.
  Proverbs 20:19 Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets; therefore do not associate with a simple babbler.
   We may gossip only in our homes, or to close friends, or to anyone who will listen.  However, it is important we view things from a real and true standpoint.  Here is the paragraph that caught my eye.
  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.

   Can I get an AMEN to this?  So true, so true. Love you all and thanks for reading today.
In Christ's Love and Grace
