A Lesson On Life

I was looking on photobucket today and seen these. I seen these two and thought, how true. I was sent here to learn to love others. Yet it seems like a very small task, love others. All you have to do is care, show compasion for someone other than yourself. But is it really that easy? As I reach out to others I risk being rejected and pushed away. How much easier is it to just hate someone or show no feelings toward them? A few pages later I see the quote, "We are all sudents and teachers. I often ask myself, "What did I come here to learn, and what did I come to teach?" I was thinking, I came here to learn to love, to put others before myself.

What have I come to learn? What I have learned is that I have a idea of what my life should look like, God has a better plan. Being a military wife is hard but there is one perk I have discovered and that is meeting new people. I honestly can say that I have not always enjoyed being a military wife having to pack up and move so much. However after my last move I was thinking, how blessed I am to be able to move and meet so many wonderful people that I never would have met if I never left my home town or state. In the last two moves I have opened my heart to meeting new people and making friends. I have changed my additude of, "I'm not making friends because I'm moving soon, what's the sense." I see how having friends has changed my outlook on life. I know that everytime I put myself out there I could get hurt but I think it's worth it when you meet someone who cares for you.

The other thing I have learned is life is short if you don't like where you are heading do something to change it, pray for guidance. And let's not forget, practice make progress. I know Iwill never be perfect but I know that I can make progress.

As for what I can teach...... I guess what I learn. So let me close with a quote that I found when I was thinking about how blessed I'm with the people I have met throughout my life.

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints on your heart.

First Day of Kindergarten

Today was Madison first day of kindergarten, they had a parent/student orintation. Here is the recap of our day. We walked to school, school started at 9:00 today instead of 8:15. All the parents stayed in the room with the kids, the teachers talked first to the parents and children together. Then we split up, the children went outside to play and the parents stayed in the room with the other teacher. (The class room had two teachers who work together all day.) Then the parents went to the aditorium to hear about the parent teacher club. The children went in the class and learned the some information on the letter A. They did some other stuff too. We are met back together and talked about parking and all the paper work that needs to be filled out. Then we were on our way home. It was a hot walk home, I might end up driving to pick her up until it cools down some. Tomorrow will be a normal day, 8:15 to 11:35. Today is was only 9:00 to 11:00. I know that tomorrow will be very different. Madison loves her teachers and has already made a couple of friends. I think it will be a good day.
