"Learning is a life-long lesson."
My parents taught me this when I was a child and I have been learning this lesson thus far in my life, ironically enough. Of course, me being sometimes rather unintelligent, I have often had to learn a life lesson the hard way. To illustrate this point, let me share with you a true story:
One day a family decided to visit some friends from out of town. Little did they know this day would be a very special and memorable day for years to come. After arriving and spending time with friends over food, the children of the two families decided to go outside for some exercise, to burn the calories they just ate of course. There they were outside playing when one of the children got a little too excited and competitive. While running to avoid getting tagged, he ran right onto the road. Notice: He ran onto the road. Shortly afterward he fell onto the road as well. Yes, this child was careless and didn't look both ways before crossing the street and was hit by a truck, but you know what? This child is still alive! In case any of you are wondering who this story is about, it is me.
But here is the really cool part (aside from living to tell the story). God is sovereign even in the bad times. Yes, I was stupid and yes I was hurt and could have died, but I didn't. So here is what I want you to learn from this: Learn from me. Listen to your parents. And for goodness sake, look both ways before crossing the street!
