What I have learned in Life so Far

I've learned....

That the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.

That just one person saying to me, "You've made my day!" makes my day.

That having your son fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world.

That being kind is more important than being right.

That you should never say "no" to a gift from a child or God.

That money doesn't buy class. That has to be earned.

That I can always pray for someone when I don't have the strength to help him in some other way.

That no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs to act goofy ever so often.

That sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.

That simple game of “catch” with my father during summer nights years ago did wonders for me as an adult.

That we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for.

That it's those small daily happenings that make life so incredible.

That under everyone's hard outside is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.

That the Lord didn't do it all in one day. Why should I think I can?

That sometime ignoring the facts does not change the facts.

That when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you. Let God will deal with them later.

That love, not time, heals all wounds.

That the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.

That everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile.

That life is tough, but I'm tougher.

That opportunities are never lost, someone will take the ones you miss.

That when you keep bitterness locked up inside, happiness will dock elsewhere. So let it go.

That I wish I could have told my Mom & Dad that I love them one more time before they passed away.

That one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.

That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.

That I can't choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it.

That everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.

That life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

The devil's greatest trick is making humanity think that he really doesn't exist.

Faith is like a river, the more you stay in the middle the safer you are.

Sin is like a vacuum cleaner, the closer you get the stronger it pulls.

Live in the moment , and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering .

Life is never boring unless you decide to quit changing.

What would happen if just for ONE DAY. we focused our actions on helping people rather than on oursleves. Would the world explode. Probably not, but our hearts probably would.

When you truly love students, they return more than you give.

When the calling of God is scary, we lead by reminding the people of God that Jesus did not come to make us safe. He came to make us brave through FAITH. He ask us to just step across the street because we don't realize what isn't a part of our daily lives, we ignore it, sometimes we don't want to see it."

That when you're in love with Jesus , it shows.

till next time,
peace
