"When the student is ready the teacher will appear."
Amazing how that happens.

Uncoditional Love

Week of August 18

School started this week in many communities. I remember in grade school the teacher went around the room explaining what each person's name meant. When she reached me she said Malcolm means
"bald headed monkey." I you just laughed that is exactly what my classmates did. I was humiliated.

I went home furious with my mother. I demanded why she named me explaining what my teacher said. "Your teacher is incorrect," she responded. "Malcolm means bald eagle." Immediately this third grader's ego was restored. To her credit,  the teacher announced the correction the next day.

I didn't appreciate my mother's unconditional love for me until she was gone. I bet the Apostles felt the same way about Jesus.

"God loves us so unconditionally that, "He gave his only son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have ever lasting life." (John 3:16)
