God Created the Teacher

On the 6^th day, God created men and women. On the 7^th day he rested. Not so much to

recuperate, but rather to prepare himself for the work he was going to do on the next day.

For it was on that day –the 8^th day-that God created the First Teacher. This Teacher, though

taken from among men and women, had several significant modifications. In general, God

made the Teacher more durable than other men and women. The Teacher was made to be

 arise at a very early hour and go to bed no earlier than 11:30pm with no rest in between.

The Teacher had to be able to withstand being locked up in an air-tight classroom for six

hours with thirty five “monsters” on a rainy Monday. And the teacher had to be fit to

correct103 papers over Easter vacation. Yes, God made the teacher tough _ _ _ _ _ _ _

 but gentle,too. The Teacher was equipped with soft hands to wipe away the tears  of the

neglected and lonely student _ _ _ _ those of sixteen year old girl who was not asked to the

prom. And intothe Teacher God poured a generous amount of patience. Patience when a

student asks to repeat the directions the teacher has just repeated for someone else.

Patience when the kids forget their lunch money for the fourth day in the row. Patience

when one third of the class fails the test. Patience when the text books have not arrived

yet, and the semester starts tomorrow. And God gave Teacher a heart slightly bigger than

the average human heart. For the Teacher’s heart had to be big enough to love the kid who

screams, “I hate this class- it’s boring! ” and to love the kid who runs out of the classroom at

the end of the period without so much as a “Goodbye”, let alone a “Thank You”. And lastly

God gave the teacher an abundant supply of HOPE. For God knew that the TEACHER would

 always be hoping. Hoping that the kid would somedaylearn how to spell _ _ _ _ hoping not

to have lunchroom duty_ _ _ _ _ _ _hoping that Friday would come_ _ _ _ _hoping for a free

day_ _ _ _ _hoping for deliverance. When God finished creating the TEACHER, he stepped

back and admired the work of His hands. And God saw that the Teacher was good. Very

GOOD!And God smiled, for when he looked at the Teacher, he saw into the future. He

knew that future is in the hands of the TEACHERS. And because God loves TEACHERSso

much _ __ _ _on the 9^th day God created _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

SNOW DAYS!!!!!!

This story framed by someone is so True, it stands testimony to the humongous tasks a Teacher has at its hand. This story is very close to my heart and very dear to me. This blog post is dedicated to all those teachers who have shaped my life in a known or unknown way for better, may they would have been in different roles of life as Parents, Friends, Relatives etc. I have posted this to Thank all of them, to share with them my feelings toward them and with all others out there who feel in a similar way but have not been able to express the same.
