WISE CRAKES FROM JOHN BEKS
I'VE LEARNED .......(PART 1)
I've learned .....
that the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.
that when you're in love, it shows.
that just one person saying to me: "You've made my day!" makes my day.
that having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world.
I've learned .....
that being kind is more important than being right.
that you should never say "no" to a gift from a child.
that I can always pray for someone, when I don't have the strength to help that person in some other way.
that no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to be goofy with.
I've learned.....
that sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold,
and a heart to understand.
that simple walks with my father around the block on summer nights, when I was a child, did wonders for me as an adult.
that life is like a roll of toilet paper: the closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
that we should be glad that God does not give us everything we ask for.
I've learned ....
that money does not buy class.
that it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.
that under everyone's hard shell, there is someone to be appreciated and loved.
that the Lord didn't do it all in one day. What makes me think I can?
