YOU CAN SKIP THIS PART(short joke)...SCROLL DOWN FOR NEWS BELOW
A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood. The next morning while eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour through the window hanging the wash outside.
"That laundry is not 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 the neighbour would hang laundry to dry, the young woman would make the same
comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learnt how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this!"
The husband replied: "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.
Easy to discuss other people, their lives and things that don't really concern us.
Yet we tend to forget- our window isn't that clean after all.
Clean up your window with the WORD! (THE TRUTH.)
LORD, please give us the strength, humility and courage that we may work on our faults first rather than seeing the faults in Others and castigating them.
Have a beautiful Week !

NOW THE NEWS IN FULL.....
As a result Grace from Ndola, Zambia, has never been to school and is not allowed to play with other children as she is desperately prone to infections.
Now Grace has undergone state of the art surgery in South Africa to have a specially constructed forehead implanted into her skull to encourage the bone to grow. Grace's unique facial condition developed in the womb and her parents Ngula and Elijah desperately sought medical attention upon her birth.
Ngula said: "When she was born she was rushed to a children's hospital. There was so many doctors but they told us they couldn't do anything because it was beyond their ability."
Elijah said: "Grace had a cranio-facial abnormality. The eyes, the nostrils, the mouth they were all far apart.

"The nostrils were actually 13 centimetres apart. The brain was suspended and stuck to the hard palette on her mouth. You could physically see it outside just covered by a thin skin."
Grace's face had been forced apart by an encephalocele, a defect in which part of the brain peeks through an opening in the skull , splitting open her face down the middle.
It destroyed the base of the skull meaning there was a hole in the roof of her mouth through which her brain was hanging.
When Grace was three years old, she and her father Elijah flew to Argentina for her first life-changing surgery.
American surgeon Dr Kenneth Salyer, founder of the World Craniofacial Foundation, who stepped in to help Grace, said: "The reason to operate was to save her life, she couldn't live that way and would not survive long term."
At seven years old, Grace's face had healed, but she still has no bone in her forehead. She wore a padded helmet and her parents had to take continual care as only a thin layer of skin protected her brain.
