If you seek to please men, you can never be a servant of the Lord.

From Psalm 100:1-2:  “Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.  Serve the Lord with gladness; come into His presence with singing.”

Zac Poonen (born 1939) has been serving the Lord as a Christian Bible teacher for nearly 60 years in his home country of India.

Empathy, a parent’s ability to understand what a child is feeling, is an important and valuable ingredient of child rearing.

It is said that nature always sides with the hidden flaw.  Teachers have the opposite role; to side with the hidden asset, to minimize a child’s deficiencies, intensify his experience, and enlarge his life.

Haim Ginott (1922-1973) was an Israeli-born school teacher and child psychologist.  He pioneered techniques about how to converse with children.

My poem serves as an introduction for praising the gift that God has shared with my dear wife, Colleen.  From a bag filled with a collection of writings, she has crafted a book from her faith-filled heart about family and God.

The Bible instructs–and experience teaches–that praising God results in our burdens being lifted and our joys being multiplied.

From Psalm 138:1-3:  “I give You thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing Your praise; I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your steadfast love and Your faithfulness, for You have exalted Your name and Your word above everything.  On the day I called, You answered me; You increased my strength of soul.”

To reach a child’s mind a teacher must capture his heart.  Only if a child feels right can he think right.

Often an ounce of humor is worth a ton of words.
