What Do You Have To Teach Me Today

Lesson 1. What do you have to teach me today? For I have learned much from “teaching” my “children”. Lesson 2. I will not always give you what you want. Lesson 3. You will not always appreciate what I give you. Lesson 4. I will teach you to spit and swear. For each has its place and should be done properly. Lesson 5. Language is an art form. Words are tonal paint brushes. Lesson 6 You look just like yourself!!!!! Don’t let them pin Uncle Harry’s nose on you. Lesson 7. Dining advice….fingers were made before forks. Lesson 8. Listen to Dad(Papa). He’ll tell you some strange things. The wisdom of his words will come to you as you mature. Lesson 9. Don’t pull the cats tail. Lesson 10. Everyone has something to teach you. Not all of it is worth learning. You’ll figure it out. Lesson 11. Friendship is a welcome mat. Lesson 12. When in doubt…. GO ASK YOUR MOTHER!! ©2/12/2023

a bit more of a secular approach to spiritual training. For a mentor of mine often told me "if it ain't practical - it ain't spiritual"
