"Dad, My Teacher hates me!" He exclaimed. "She hates everybody - She yells at us all the time. She's old-school" ( Where on earth did that come from? Do grade school children even know what old-school means? Maybe she's an older woman, I finally surmised. Can't wait for Parent Teacher conferences!)
These comments come but a few short weeks after he informed me what a nice Teacher he had. How he liked her the best of all his Teachers this year.
My, how a few weeks can change a young boy's outlook! ( I'm guessing a few of the little girls in his classes might echo at least some of his sentiments. )
Press on, i urged him. Focus on the good. Just keep being polite and nice to your classmates and Teachers. We can't let one person's bad mood or vocal reactions ruin our day, can we?
Found this in Philippians 4 this morning:
" Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.
Let your forbearance be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
