In a Peanuts comic strip, there is a conversation between Charlie Brown and Lucy. As they look out of the window, Lucy exclaims, “Oh, look at the birds and the trees and flowers and sunshine.” And Charlie says, “I see fingerprints, bugs and smudges.”
Lucy tells him, “Charlie Brown, don’t you know that windows are for looking through, not at.”
--------------------------------------
Our lives are like windows. We can look through the challenges and see the glory and joy of winning. Or we focus on what is wrong and all we see are our weaknesses, and the bugs, the smudges, the difficulties. When you stand by the window of your life’s challenges, choose to look at your strengths. Don’t focus on your limitations. Don’t look at the fingerprints and the smudges.
