Teachable Moments

I read the LY365 email this morning and then minutes later received an email from my Dad, who ironically retired after a 35 year teaching career. I am sharing the message in his email, since it ties directly to the message of teachable moments.

The Window from which We look

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!
