Karen, Sunday's are generally restful; church, regular chores and holding down the porch -grin-.
Mildred, a good teacher is worth their weight in gold.
Nancy, your husband is a wise man!
Debbie, bless you for teaching; a good teacher is worth their weight in gold!
Charlotte, as did I in my youth but I came home…finally; keep praying!
Lea, I'm still learning and hope never to stop.
Dewena, the best teachers are worth remembering; unfortunately, I remember some of the bad ones as well.
Dori, you are SO kind. The Bible is my first reference point; the rest falls into place.
Dear Thistle, how do you find always such wonderful sentences and themes? GREAT!
Here some of my favorites:
"Teaching is a calling too. And I've always thought that teachers in their way are holy – angels leading their flocks out of the darkness."
"Let us learn on earth those things whose knowledge might continue in heaven."
"Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself."
"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops."
I always thought that because I loved school, loved to learn that I should make a good teacher. I was not. After 6 years of teaching Sunday School to 4-year olds I finally admitted that a good teacher was a breed different from me. But oh how I wished I could have been. I still remember my best teachers fondly.
"a teacher who loves learning" is one of my
favorite quotes. my grandmother lived
her entire 90 years learning. sometimes
i get glimpses of her in my heart.
Sandra, That first proverb about training up a child in the way he should go….I sure hope that is true. My daughter has strayed away from her Christianity big time.
Have a great week!

As a teacher myself, I really appreciate all these quotes and scriptures. My prayer is always that I can teach and touch the lives of my students for good and I ask God to guide me. Thank you, my friend. Have a good week!
I consider myself a lifelong learner and love it! Love the quotes you shared. My husband says you can learn something from everyone you meet. Might not all be good, but you'll learn something. 🙂
Hi Sandra, I spent yesterday with a childhood friend who has spent her life teaching first in public school and now in retirement at Christian school. She has positively affected so many lives and I admire her so much.
I enjoyed these quotes. Praying that you will have a nice week.
Great quotes, Sandra! I hope you had a restful Sunday. (BIG HUG!)
