Since today is #TeacherAppreciationDay let me tell you the best one I’ve ever had—it’s called “life.”
Yup, life taught me so much.
I learned that it’s the hard times that brings out the strength I never had.
I learned that disappointments are God’s way to re-direct my steps.
I learned that only those who bring the best in me are worthy to be called “best” friends.
Life taught me that when I plan for the future, I first need to plan my attitude for today.
I learned that when I lament what I lack, self-pity barges in.
Life taught me that when I focus on the good of life, my days become better and I can anticipate the best.
And finally, I learned that often my plans bring on heartache, but only God’s plans bring on happiness.
I thank God for the life He’s given me, the lessons learned, and the meaning revealed.
How about you? Who’s been your best teacher?
