She also constantly told us "even if you are the janitor, strive to be the best janitor". <br />Seems to me you have a great mother.Ingmar Albizuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01329625581962664673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-48102416968649460722017-05-21T10:09:36.571-04:002017-05-21T10:09:36.571-04:00Great wisdom and truth to keep before us every day...Great wisdom and truth to keep before us every day!Barbara Lattahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06095727992126656197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-56423795798954542982017-05-21T08:34:27.436-04:002017-05-21T08:34:27.436-04:00Sometimes it's hard to always be the one that ...Sometimes it's hard to always be the one that helps another rise to the top.

When that happens, I have to remind myself that if it touches or helps just one person, then it was worth the effort. After all, I am writing because God has called me to write. <br /><br />Your example of a teeter-totter helped me to put things in perspective. Blessings to you and thanks for sharing.<br />Sheryl Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17533807303623973236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-35556305872230236672017-05-21T07:51:40.272-04:002017-05-21T07:51:40.272-04:00That was a great way to tell a kid.
