"I do not dwell upon your faults, and you should not upon mine. Charity, which is Love, covereth a multitude of sins, and I have often covered up all the faults among you; but the prettiest thing is to have no faults at all. We should cultivate a meek, quiet, and peaceable spirit.
-Joseph Smith Jr.- The Prophet
History of the Church 5:517 July 23, 1843 reported by Willard Richards

Hey there, I gave the Sharing Time lesson in Primary on Sunday about listening to the Prophets... and a part of it was about some of the talks given by Pres. Monson last Conference. Pres. tells the story of how a newly moved in couple were having breakfast at their table and she sees that the neighbor has done her laundry and hung it out to dry... seeing that the neighbor just can't seem to clean her laundry she comments to her hubby... about how the neighbor needs to learn how to wash... this goes on for a few weeks and she just can't get over how this neighbor needs to learn how to do a better job! One morning they are eating and she is astounded that the neighbor has finally learned how to get her laundry clean and wonders how she did it! Her hubby asks if she really wants to know, she says yes! And then he proceeds to tell her that he had gotten up earlier in the morning and gone outside, and washed their windows!!! The talk was on how the Lord doesn't want us to judge!
Have a great day... I'm working harder at not judgeing others... or even trying to compare myself to others I admire... it does nothing to help us if we are constantly finding fault in others or ourselves...
