education

Last night we had an education meeting at church.  It was a productive meeting and we all went away feeling good.  At the end, for some reason, none of us wanted to leave.  An older lady from our church sits on the committee.  She is 82 and tends to say wise things that will bring us to our senses.  Last night after the meeting was over and as we sat and just talked she told us how she and her sister were raised in a children's home.  What a story she had.  We talked about her experiences.  We asked questions and she told stories. 

See the things you don't know about people.  We sometimes think they are old with no history...How sad.

She raised seven children that are all now good and honest members of society.  All turned out well.  She raised them alone...no man around...and she talked about the values and morals she was taught at the children's home.  What a story.

It was inspiring to all of us as we compared her situation to some of our young people today.
You never know what you will learn when you sit and listen. 
We are put here to serve and part of that service is to listen.  You might just learn something new.
