Presence makes all the Difference

My mom was a kindergarten teacher, so it felt natural when my kids were little to volunteer to teach Sunday school.  When my kids left for college, and the senior men’s class was looking for a teacher, we decided to try it, and again my wife and I stayed for many years, gaining lessons about life we could never teach.  Some of the men had served in WWII; others had grown and / or lost businesses, and families.  Most of the members were 30 to 40 years our senior, and the sharing of their life experiences changed forever how we would view our own aging and the life we strive to live together.  Take the time to walk in another’s shoes, and gain life lessons that will change your life forever.
