”A Father is someone you look up to no matter how tall you
are.”
–Anon.
.
Father’s Day reminds me of the many reasons I have to thank my
dear Dad.
..
I’m a lucky son… I have one of the greatest dad around. My
father is compassionate, loving and kind. He adores all children
and animals. He tries to see the good in everyone and goes out
of his way to rescue struggling flies from drowning in his
swimming pool.
..
Looking back, I know I received an unusual education from my dad.
Dad had to figure out his place in my life. He grabbed precious
moments, such as the time our basement flooded, to teach me
about water pressure and drainage systems. Dad’s lessons were
unusual, unorthodox, and seemed to have little relevance to my
future — kind of like my bachelor of arts degree.
..
Actually, the more I compare Dad’s teaching and my degree, the

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week - a time to honor teachers who have made a difference in the world.
..
Here’s a special message we would like to share with you from Simple Truths founder, Mac Anderson:
..
I grew up in Trenton, Tennessee, a small town of 5,000 people. I have wonderful memories of those first 18 years and the teachers who helped shape the person I am today.
..
Fred Culp was my history teacher in high school. To this day, he is still the funniest person I’ve ever met. In addition to loving his history class, he taught me that a sense of humor, especially laughing at yourself, can be one of life’s greatest blessings.

From: The Heart of a Teacher
“A Parent’s Note to a Teacher”
by Anonymous..I’m the voice of a grateful parent
whose child was in your class…
the one who needed help to find his way
You’ve been a special blessing
as you helped my child succeed
and I’m thankful for the part you had to play
You gave him so much more
than just the lessons in the books
you gave him wings…so he could learn to fly
You ignited a flame within his soul
a passion to learn and grow…
to never give up and always be willing to try
Your encouragement inspired him
and your kindness was so real
but the thing that thrills my heart the most is this…
