Teach me a life lesson...

Look both ways before you cross the road.

In my childhood I recall how when a railroad track crossing on any isolated highway was not managed by a ringing, swinging red light and bell, there was simply a black and white sign in the form of an X which said, "Railroad crossing, Stop, Look and Listen." This is sound advice for all crossing any street on foot these days too.

From my own personal experience and observation, I believe that most life lessons are learned the hard way otherwise they have little or no value.

If God is your co-pilot it's time to change seats.

Better to stand with God and be judged by the world
Than to stand with the world and be judged by God.

I went dyslexic reading this the first time. Now I realize it truly does make perfect sense.

Love that it’s time to let go of the wheel and let him drive !! And become a passenger

+A dream given me in 1969 was so; I was in a resort in the mountains, nothing fancy, just a resort. People were on the nearby lake swimming, water skiing and fishing.

A station wagon was parked in front of the lodge made of logs. Then many types of roads appeared as though a map, some just one lane, othersrs of various lanes, all stright as an arrow, all heading to the same place on the flat.

Then a voice came saying, you will be taking this road, and a very dark winding road heading up a dark mountain appeared, full of chuck holes and ruts.

As to say I understood, I started to ge into the wagon, front seat, driver's side. Then I ws hearing, no, no, no, the other side. IS believed and still do that it was Jesus talking to me and the Drive. The back of the wagon had lots of people.

The following moring, as I walked across the quadrangle of the U of Il, the Holy Spirit entered into me and I was drawn directly to the Bible and Jesus, Yeshua.

I forgot tomention. At that pointas though a warning, the Voice told me there would be no trees on that road.. It all made, makes, sense to me. Praise God for His personal care for eaach of us.

This is a harsh lesson that I learned a very hard lesson from . It’s a shame I did the is but I truly wasn’t thinking and it wasn’t done knowing the situation but ….

the lesson is you ever know what someone else is going through so be careful with your words

I was in jr high school and me and my friend noticed a new kid . He was completely bald and so we poked some fun at him for a couple minutes and he started crying. It was his first day at our school

( I cringe and it still cuts me to bring it up )

it turns out as you might have guessed by now the young man had cancer and was bald because he had been through several rounds of chemotherapy

he never returned to school after that day we made him cry. It is still a terrible weight almost fifty years later on my heart I repent often for what I did even now I’m feeling that terrible sorrow for what I did.

I’ve always assumed he went throne crying and didn’t want to come back. I think of how his parents probably felt and how badly I deserved to be. Roughy out in the open for it and made a scourge of some sort

i think that’s one thing I still haven’t forgiven myself for I may carry that to my judgement because it is so deep in my heart and memory it pops up sometimes and still hurts

I hope with all my heart I see him again someday in the heavens and can ask his forgiveness if it still matters at that point

I think a good solid life lesson is that careless words in some circumstances can be a deep and sorrowful regret for a very very long time so we should be careful when we don’t know peoples situation

darn I hate that part 🥲

Everyone has done something idiotic in his or her youth. You learned from it, so have I. The lad who had undergone chemo most likely forgives a repented heart, You have one, so surely you are already forgiven, and in the long run, the lad too, learned from it. No it was not a good thing to do, but we all have learned from our youthful stupidities.. I know I have.

In short, I know how you feel. You will be just fine with that remorse you hve and you are forgiven, I believe, amen.

I’ve definately learned from it and never repeated such an offense of another

I’ve worked hard to forget it but it’s sort of like a thorn in my heart. I don’t think I’m going to be lost because of it . It’s just a really deep scar I caused upon my heart a true regret that I carry.

just a really terrible thing to have been a part of how it unfolded I truly wasn’t considering why he might be bald I found out a couple days later about his cancer. Actually cried then and have since because of it and may again it’s that deep

your kind words of support and care are appreciated as always !!! Be blessed in Christ even more than yesterday !!

Your post has bought tears to my eyes.
We have all been stupid and done stupid things that have hurt people as non believers and non believers.

I carried so much baggage concerning this in my life.
I would hurt because of the pain I knew I caused.

Precious brother in Jesus and the son of the Father you have been truly forgiven and what you have done has been buried in the deepest ocean.

Our Father does not want you to carry this burden and hurt.
He wants to set you free.

”Heavenly Father I ask that our precious brother will forgive himself concerning this burden he is carrying. You have forgiven him and do not hold it against him.
Holy Spirt work within him to set him free to forgive himself and I know that you love him so much.

Jesus said give him our burdens so I pray he will do so and leave it with you when satan comes to condemn him, as there is no condemnation for those in Jesus.

I also pray for the new kid. We do not know what become of him.
All I can ask is that your provision of grace has been received by the new kid.

wow❤️

big brother , that really was a touching word you just gave to me really can’t express how it’s appreciated. Just wow !!

I hope with all My heart one day to be able to let it go I believe I’m forgiven by the lord because I’ve repented so deeply for it and I trust his mercy

it’s definately me who can’t get past it. I don’t know why it just was so terrible. Because the ooor kid got to come for one day and we made him cry because of something he had no control over. His life was bad enough and there I was making fun of his bald head.

when I look back I can see how much it impacted him. And it’s just a regret a really deep and thorny one , not just for what I did wrong but I’m left to wonder somoften now days because I’m a believer

what if I would have befriended him not based on his looks or knowing he has cancer but , what if I would have looked out for him befriended him ? You know ?

Maybe that would have impacted his life enormously in that pain he was going through maybe he would have came back to school and it could have been a positive in his life.

it’s just a really bad incident me something I’ve never been able to let go of. I truly appreciate your words and prayers concerning this and anything but wow this really was touching coming from you I think because I respect what you say a lot always have

I know you are a true brother in the lord and can’t tell you how much that meant for you to reach out. God bless and keep you in all thkngs Jesus Christ brother I hope to see you one day in the glory waiting ahead ofnthe good lord sees for to give me entrance !!! ❤️

truly appreciated

You are created by God and you are perfect for the plan God has for your life. Don't let anyone direct you but God.
