👨‍🏫Specialty of teachers 👩‍🏫

 


An old man meets a young man who asks:


“Do you remember me?”⁴


And the old man says no. Then the young man tells him he was his student, And the teacher asks:


“What do you do, what do you do in life?”


The young man answers:


“Well, I became a teacher.”


“ah, how good, like me?” Asks the old man.


“Well, yes. In fact, I became a teacher because you inspired me to be like you.”


The old man, curious, asks the young man at what time he decided to become a teacher. And the young man tells him the following story:


“One day, a friend of mine, also a student, came in with a nice new watch, and I decided I wanted it.


I stole it, I took it out of his pocket.


Shortly after, my friend noticed that his watch was missing and immediately complained to our teacher, who was you.


Then you addressed the class saying, ‘This student's watch was stolen during classes today. Whoever stole it, please return it.’


I didn't give it back because I didn't want to.


You closed the door and told us all to stand up and form a circle.


You were going to search our pockets one by one until the watch was found.


However, you told us to close our eyes, because you would only look for his watch if we all had our eyes closed.


We did as instructed.


You went from pocket to pocket, and when you went through my pocket, you found the watch and took it. You kept searching everyone's pockets, and when you were done you said ‘open your eyes. We have the watch.’


You didn't tell on me and you never mentioned the episode. You never said who stole the watch either. That day you saved my dignity forever. It was the most shameful day of my life.


But this is also the day I decided not to become a thief, a bad person, etc. You never said anything, nor did you even scold me or take me aside to give me a moral lesson.


I received your message clearly.


Thanks to you, I understood what a real educator needs to do.


Do you remember this episode, professor?


The old professor answered, ‘Yes, I remember the situation with the stolen watch, which I was looking for in everyone’s pocket. I didn't remember you, because I also closed my eyes while looking.’


_This is the essence of teaching : one need not humiliate to teach._


_*Happy Teachers day !*_

Master piece- motivated thoughts


 When God made you He saw that you were good....


If only He had found faults in you He would have reworked on you.....


Never give in to the lie that you are short of perfection...


Your maker is a maker of perfect things.....


He has never been and can never be wrong...


When people say that you are good for nothing....


Tell them that your Father God is upto something....


He did not create you and then assign a work for you....


He made a plan and to execute that He created you with a purpose....


Your life is purpose driven!


*Psalm 139:14*


*I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well*


YES YOU ARE HIS MASTER PIECE! HE FINDS NO FLAW IN YOU!! PRAISE GOD FOR YOU ARE OF INCREDIBLE WORTH!!!

Little Tea cup☕

I'm a Little Tea Cup.



 Love this story or not, you will not be able to have tea in a tea cup again without thinking of this. 

There was a couple who took a trip to England to shop in a beautiful antique store to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary.

 They both liked antiques and pottery, and especially teacups.

Spotting an exceptional cup, they asked "May we see that? We've never seen a cup quite so beautiful."As the lady handed it to them, suddenly the teacup spoke, "You don't understand. I have not always been a teacup.

 There was a time when I was just a lump of red clay. My master took me and rolled me, pounded and patted me over and over and I yelled out, "Don't do that.
 I don't like it! Let me alone," but he only smiled, and gently said, "Not yet."

Then WHAM!
 I was placed on a spinning wheel and suddenly I was made to suit himself and then he put me in the oven. I never felt such heat. 

I yelled and knocked and pounded at the door. "Help! Get me out of here!"
 I could see him through the opening and I could read his lips as he shook his head from side to side, "Not yet."

When I thought I couldn't bear it another minute, the door opened.
 He carefully took me out and put me on the shelf-life, and I began to cool. Oh, that felt so good! "Ah, this is much better," I thought.
But, after I cooled he picked me up and he brushed and painted me all over. 
The fumes were horrible. I thought I would gag. 
"Oh, please, stop it, stop, I cried." He only shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Then suddenly he puts me back in to the oven.
 Only it was not like the first one. This was twice as hot and I just knew I would suffocate. 
I begged.
 I pleaded.
 I screamed.
 I cried.
 I was convinced I would never make
it. I was ready to give up. 
Just then the door opened and he took me out and again placed me on the shelf, where I cooled and waited and waited, wondering, "What's he going to do to me next?"

An hour later he handed me a mirror and said, "Look at yourself." And I did.

 I said, "That's not me. That couldn't be me. It's beautiful. I'm beautiful!"

Quietly he spoke: "I want you to remember. 
I know it hurt to be rolled and pounded and patted, but had I just left you alone, you'd have dried up. I know it made you dizzy to spin around on the wheel, but if I had stopped,
you would have crumbled.
 I know it hurt and it was hot and disagreeable in the oven, but if I hadn't put you there, you would have cracked. 

I know the fumes were bad when I brushed and painted you all over, but if I hadn't
done that, you never would have hardened. You would not have had any color in your life. If I hadn't put you back in that second oven, you wouldn't have survived for long because the hardness would not have held.

 Now you
are a finished product. Now you are what I had in mind when I first began with you."

The moral of this story is this: God knows what He's doing for each of us.He is the potter, and we are His clay.

 He will mould us and make us and expose us to just enough pressures of just the right kinds that we may be
made into a flawless piece of work to fulfill His good, pleasing and perfect.

So when life seems hard, and you are being pounded and patted and pushed almost beyond endurance; when your world seems to be spinning out of control;
 when you feel like you are in a fiery furnace of trials; when life
seems to "stink", try this.

Brew a cup of your favorite tea in your prettiest tea cup, sit down and think of this story and then, have a little talk with the Potter..
☕☕
..God Bless You !
