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 things in the world

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 him in some other way

That no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with

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 God doesn’t give us everything we ask for

That money does not buy us class

That it is those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular

That under everyone’s hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved

That the Lord didn’t do it all in one day - what makes me think I can?

That to ignore the facts does not change the facts

That when you plan to get even with someone you are only letting that person continues to hurt you.

That love, not time heals all wounds

That the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am

That everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile

That there’s nothing sweeter than sleeping with your babies and feeling their breath on your cheeks

That no one is perfect until you fall in love with them

That life is tough – but I am tougher

Those opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss

That when you harbour bitterness happiness will dock elsewhere

That I wish I could have told my dad I love him one more time before HE passed away

That one should keep his words both soft and tender because tomorrow He may have to eat them

That a smile is inexpensive way to keep your looks

That I can’t choose how I feel but I can choose what I do about it

That when you’re newly born grandchild holds your little finger in his little first that you’re hooked for life

That everyone wants to live on top of the mountain but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it

That it is best to give advice in only two circumstances; firstly when it is requested and secondly when it is a life threatening situation

That the less time I have to work with the more things I will get done

Prayer

Lord Jesus, this article has some valuable lessons and thought provoking quotes; although they are not religious I believe these would be things you may wish us and if one quote hits home with someone reading this article then we should give credit to the writer Mr Rooney who wrote I’ve leaned. Amen.
