Are Your Windows Clean?

When I headed down to Nanaimo on Saturday morning for the Woman's Conference & the General Relief Society broadcast...It had been a crazy busy week and I was grumpy....The only thing that made it easy to leave the house that morning was that the kids were still fighting over who was going to do the mammoth amount of dishes, I had let pile up......

I ended up really enjoying the day. President Monson's Talk at the end of the broadcast was the best, ever....This is the antidote he began his talk with....

"A young couple, Lisa and John, moved into a new neighborhood. One morning while they were eating breakfast, Lisa looked out the window and watched her next-door neighbor hanging out her wash.
“That laundry’s not clean!” Lisa exclaimed. “Our neighbor doesn’t know how to get clothes clean!”
John looked on but remained silent.
Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, Lisa would make the same comments.
A few weeks later Lisa was surprised to glance out her window and see a nice, clean wash hanging in her neighbor’s yard. She said to her husband, “Look, John—she’s finally learned how to wash correctly! I wonder how she did it.”
John replied, “Well, dear, I have the answer for you. You’ll be interested to know that I got up early this morning and washed our windows!”"

-Thomas S Monson, Charity Never Failith, RS Broadcast, Sept 25, 2010

We all need to be reminded of this from time to time, it is never our place to judge. I love President Monson.

Going down to conference was well worth it. And yes the dishes were done when I got home and the kids hadn't killed each other either. I guess you could call it a win-win :)
