Food for thought

I have learned...

• That the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.



• That being kind is more important than being right.



• That you should never say no to a gift from a child.



• 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 I can always pray for someone when I don't have the strength to help him in some other way.



• That we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for.



• That opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss.



• That there's nothing sweeter than sleeping with your babies and feeling their breath on your cheek.



• 
  
  
  
  That having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world.
  

• 
  
  
  
  
  
  That when your newly born grandchild holds your little finger in his little fist, you're hooked for life.
