TEACHING TUESDAY: A TOUGH LESSON

"Physician heal thyself." A common Adage. What about, "Teacher, teach thyself?" Even the tough lessons. Suffering can be a hard lesson to swallow and to teach.

Benjamin Franklin is the one noted for saying, "nothing in life is certain but death and taxes." 

I would add suffering. I assume the teachable truth here is acceptance and preparation.

Suffering is a "given."

All suffer. Overtly or hidden. 

Everyone I know has suffered in one way or another. 

Yesterday while meditating on Psalm 107: 17-22, notes from a 2017 Taylor Park sermon and a 2014 blog entry fueled my thinking on suffering. 

**Will  finish my pondering and share final thoughts after my time with Owen.
