top 2 tuesday...lessons learned!

Happy Tuesday y'all!

What a day it's been! Today was my Monday so it was hard getting up at 5:20 this morning :( We also had After School today so I was teaching little kindergarteners until 4:30 today. Then there was a baseball game at 6:00 but I left about 8 so I could come home, shower, and watch Glee! J stayed until the end though to see the Eagles win!

I decided to play along with The Undomestic Momma and her Top 2 Tuesday :)


Today's topic is lessons you've learned from your parents or grandparents.

As I thought about all the things my parents and grandparents have taught me, three things my grandpa always said stood out for me...

{one}
Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. My Papa was such a wonderful man of God and I am blessed that he was such a role model for me on how to live a Christian life! He always said that the Bible is the only book you'll ever really need.


{two}
Find a job you love. As stressful as teaching can be, it is such a rewarding job! Kids say and do the funniest things that can always bring a smile to your face :)

{three}
Find a loving, Christian man to marry. I am so lucky that Papa got to meet J before he passed away. I wish Papa could have been at our wedding but I know that he was there on the happiest day of our lives :)


Papa, thank you for teaching me the most important things in life. I miss you each and every day! I love you!


Hope everyone has had a terrific Tuesday!

I was taught the first and third things you listed by everyone in my family and I, too, and so thankful for that-especially when you realize how many people were not taught those things. Precious.
