One of the Great things about being a Dad and raising your kids, are those moments when you impart something old to you, but new to them, and they turn right around and allow you to witness them putting that advice into rousing action! My children afford me that luxury from time to time and I take Great pleasure into being a spectator of their accomplishments. Even Greater than that is the selflessness that children compel of you, that allows you to tap into the compassion that is you, knowing that even though it was your advice, you know that it is Truly not about you. It is all about what you can do for others and the demonstration of such that they too, will one day do.
These "Teachable Moments" are what Life is all about. Truth is, someone, somewhere along your journey's path imparted the advice to you. And instead of paying it back, you pay it in a reciprocatingly forward manner and reap the benefits of being Blessed at least twice that will know of. One: when you were initially Blessed with it. Two: when you Blessed someone else with it. The Three, Four, Five and so on, you may not be able to witness, however, it was the initial impartation that provides the Greatest means of celebration and understanding that you are merely a vessel representing the awesomeness that is not because of you, but what was entrusted to come and make its way through you.
What an absolute privilege it is to know that you can be used to bring about something good within others and not concern yourself with looking for or receiving something in return, just being Grateful that it was through you, when it could have very well been through someone else. Humbling it is and Positive it will be, when at the end of the day, those "Teachable Moments" will return the Praise to the Glory to which they originated.
The lessons will only cease when you start thinking that it is because of and all about you. The latter will be the Greater. The first shall be the last, and the last shall be the first. And those "Teachable Moments" will always compel the compassion within you, to never quench your thirst, rather thirst for more of the goodness to impart, by playing your role, position, and part, and to always reciprocatingly pay it forward, so that someone else can partake in the celebration of Life's "Teachable Moments."
God, Love, And Smile Always!
