So, we’re here to learn virtue and acquire knowledge. But, as you might have guessed, it doesn’t happen overnight. The school year goes until the end of May, so you know it is going to take time and effort. It may seem a bit overwhelming at the start. That’s okay. Don’t think you have to accomplish everything all at once— and don’t give up. Bit by bit, day by day, you’ll get there, and we’ll help you. It just takes a little perseverance.
If it helps, just remember this little poem:
The fisher who draws in his net too soon,
Won’t have any fish to sell;
The child who shuts up his book too soon,
Won’t learn any lessons well.
If you would have your learning stay,
Be patient,—stick with it and hold fast:
The man who travels a mile each day,
May get ’round the world at last.
Now, for what I think I will call the Friday funnies: A silly dad joke to end the week.
In a school cafeteria, a teacher places a note in front of a pile of apples, “Only take one. God is watching.” Further down the line is a pile of cookies. A little boy makes his own note, “Take all you want. God is watching the apples.”
Have a wonderful day.
