My mom was walking behind me and asked if I realized how red my hair was. She said I should get my hairdresser to fix it because it didn’t look right.
A few minutes later my mom told me my nail polish was too orange. I laughed and told her that it was frosty bronze then I suggested she might need to get her eyes checked because I thought she was going color-blind. That’s when I noticed the very AUBURN tinted sunglasses she was wearing.
We laughed when we realized why everything seemed too orange-ish and red to her that day! Her sunglasses had altered her perspective completely.
My son Joshua was listening to the whole conversation and leaned over and said, “Well, that teaches us we need to be careful what we look through before we judge what we see.” He’s so right! We all learned a powerful lesson that day!
