DRESS-UP TEA PARTY
Beatriz Gay from Mexico sent me a precious picture of her 8 year old daughter, Marianne, during her birthday party.
She wrote,"I was reading one of your recent Heart to Heart newsletters and I got an excellent idea to make the party. I organized a tea party, then went to Goodwill to buy hats, dresses, necklaces and some teacups for the girls. They were so happy with the idea! They told me that this was a cool party.
"I enjoyed so much the innocence and the happiness that they had on that day! I offered them 'tea' (pink lemonade) and then we played some games while drinking the 'tea.' When they left I gave them the teacup each girl had used, and put inside a small treat bag with a bracelet, a lip balm and two candies. Thank you. It was a memorable day for Marianne!"

FLASHING TRAFFIC CAMERAS
A man was driving when a traffic camera flashed. He thought his picture was taken for exceeding the speed limit, even though he knew he was not speeding. Just to be sure, he went around the block and passed the same spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed. He thought this was quite funny, so he slowed down even further as he drove past the area, but the traffic camera flashed yet again. He tried a fourth time with the same result. The fifth time he was laughing when the camera flashed as he rolled past at a snail's pace. Two weeks later, he got five traffic fine letters in the mail for driving without a seat belt.

THE WINDOW THROUGH 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 says. "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.
The husband said, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."
