my teacher

We just celebrated teacher's day. My mom suggested that we would remember the teacher that impress us the most. We did and it was fun.
So tonight I want to share to you about the teacher that has taught me the most. The one that I will forever be most thankful too:
Jesus.

He has walked by my side everyday. And He has taught me so much!!!

He has taught me to enjoy nature. He is the one that often makes me stop my busy going about to enjoy a butterfly, a flower, a night sky, a bird, a cloud, some rain.
He has taught me to have confidence in what I do.
He has taught me how important it is to laugh.
He has taught me how important it is to cry.
He has taught me to live passionatly, making the most of every day.
He has taught me so much...
He has taught me to reach out, to get near people, to love them and to enjoy them.
Because I am fragile, people have always been a challenge for me. I do not enjoy getting hurt.
I do not know exactly how Jesus did it, but he has taken me to this place where I just need some amount of contact with people. Real contact. Soul to soul contact.
I consider this to be one of my favorite lessons.
I know there are mean people out there and I try to avoid them, but then there are so many others that are so interesting and fun (sinful, yes...but...)
I sat there this afternoon looking at the big red sun going off to bed, and I giggled as I thought "I actually miss the phone ringing all day!"
It has been a long year. And rather slow in many ways. But it is coming to an end. And I am tickeled to discover that I am glad. Because I missed being in a noisy room. I missed having to bake to have something to share. I missed having to have kleenex to give to whom was crying in my arms. I missed speaking for hours on the phone.
I do plan to be more careful. I plan to not over do it again. But I am glad it is time to be out there again. Soon I will be making new friends.
Jesus taught me to expect good from others.
Jesus taught meto see the beauty in each one.
Jesus taught me that we heal after we get hurt.
Jesus taught me not to lose hope.
Jesus taught me to reach out.
Jesus taught me.
He can teach you.
May Jesus find a classroom in your heart so he may teach you how to live LIFE.
