Forgive Me
Forgive Me I'm Only Human! by Don Alexander
To be human is to be vulnerable, weak, strong, loving, and able to live
or die in a blink of a moment. The value of human individuals cannot be
measured in this world. We are souls with a fleshly body, awaiting our
eternal home.
As individuals we are made to interact with our families, our workplace,
and our brothers and sisters in Christ. We are also made to be witnesses
to the world. The scriptures state that we are aliens in this world.
As educators, we are the lights of the world to children in the realm of
learning and real-life spiritual examples of the reflection of Christ in
the workplace. If we look at this question in light of God's will for
our lives--it gives us a better reality.
The human social world we life in is a picture of flexible morality,
easy living, a lust for riches and glory, and in the world itself--it's
a constant battle of good and evil. The broader natural world is full of
sin, yet it strives for whatever it can get, obtain, and have.
In creation, we are the rulers of this universe, made to rule, yet with
an awesome responsibility to serve our fellow man and become upright
citizens. As individuals we need our space, yet crave some time with
social beings, and the bio-spherical world around us controls the very
nature around us.
In God's will we are made to take care of this wonderful earth he has
provided for us, and those he has graciously placed in our lives.
Our destinies await us. I believe I was created to go to the classroom
and instruct children, and to become a wonderful father someday soon. Am
I going anywhere that would harm me? I don't believe so. However,
sometimes I look at the amount of stress in the lives of humans, and it
is hard not to look at the challenges more than the positive outcomes of
life.
We need to constantly be moving towards better organization and time
management. Why? Jesus said it best when he said: "Make the most of the
time--for the days are evil." Loving others, for me, is a big goal and
fulfillment in my life.
For example, my nephews, aged three and five, are a ministry in my life,
and I count it a joy to help them grow spiritually and morally. In the
long run, I believe that learning how to care for my family and minister
to them as a father and husband will be beneficial, as well as
constantly pursuing improved instruction in my classroom, and attending
as many district and school in-services as humanly possible.
The meaning of life for me is: "Live like Christ, and dominate the
enemy." I am very energetic and outgoing, and I love to minister to the
deep concerns of others, not necessarily just personally--but always
spiritually. I was made to help people come to the Lord, and stay close
to Him.
I can continue to live a self-controlled, loving, and spiritually sound
life. As a public school teacher, I will ultimately be affecting the
lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of people. I believe I need to
accept the good, moral, and positive friends that God has provided, and
to minister to those who have just come to know the Lord in genuine
salvation.
Education has a huge role in shaping the promise of our country's
future. The reason I voted for George W. Bush in this election is
primarily due to the fact that I believe he is a better example of
character to the kids, than his opponent, John Kerry. Our schools, as a
whole, should be a reflection of morals.
Too many times, though, we hear on the news all the bad things that are
happening in the public schools. Shame on the media. Shame on us for not
getting the word out about all the progress students are making in our
schools, both public and private. It's time to share the good.
