A man has been in business for many, many years and the business
is going down the drain. He is seriously contemplating suicide
and he doesn’t know what to do. He goes to the Pastor to seek
his advice.
.
He tells the Pastor about all of his problems in the business
and asks the Pastor what he should do. The Pastor says,
.
“Take a beach chair and a Bible and put them in your car and
drive down to the edge of the ocean. Go to the water’s edge.
Take the beach chair out of the car, sit on it and take the
Bible out and open it up. The wind will rifle the pages for a
while and eventually the Bible will stay open at a particular
page. Read the Bible and it will tell you what to do.”
.
The man does as he is told.

When was the last time you were challenged to do something really…
well… great?
.
President Abraham Lincoln helped me to understand that there is a
bit of greatness within all of us. It is said that he often slipped
out of the White House on Wednesday evenings to listen to the
sermons of Dr. Phineas Gurley at New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church.
.
He generally preferred to come and go unnoticed, so when Dr.
Gurley knew the president was coming, he left his study door open.
On one of those occasions, the president quietly entered through a
side door of the church, took his seat in the minister’s study,
located just off the sanctuary, and propped the door open just wide
enough to hear the preacher.
.
During the walk home one Wednesday evening, an aide asked Mr.
Lincoln his appraisal of the sermon. The president thoughtfully
replied, “The content was excellent… he delivered with
eloquence… he had put work into the message..”
.
“Then you thought it was an excellent sermon?” questioned the aide.

There’s a recipe for friendship that’s old but still true
It’s one that never fails, and I’d like to share it with you.
***
First, you need someone who accepts you as you are,
Someone who doesn’t need you to be some kind of major star.
***
Someone who’ll cry with you and share your deepest pain,
Someone who’ll lift you till you can stand again.
***
Someone who finds your jokes funny and laughs to show it.

An excerpt from
The Heart of a Teacher
by Paula Fox
.
The child arrives like a mystery box…
with puzzle pieces inside
some of the pieces are broken or missing…
and others just seem to hide
~*~
But the HEART of a teacher can sort them out…
and help the child to see
the potential for greatness he has within…
a picture of what he can be
~*~
Her goal isn’t just to teach knowledge…
by filling the box with more parts
it’s putting the pieces together…
and creating a work of art
~*~
The process is painfully slow at times…
some need more help than others
each child is a work in progress…
with assorted shapes and colors
~*~
First she creates a classroom…
where the child can feel safe in school
where he never feels threatened or afraid to try…
and kindness is always the rule
~*~
She knows that a child
can achieve much more
when he feels secure inside
when he’s valued and loved…
and believes in himself
…and he has a sense of pride
~*~
She models and teaches good character…
and respect for one another
