As I thought about how each child performed both in writing and in classroom participation, I was struck by the teachable spirits of a few. They might not have been the best writers, but they accepted my honest feedback with grace and humility every time it was given. <BR/><BR/>That got me thinking about my own life. Am I so teachable? And your post made me ask myself another question in kind. Am I meek? The answer to both is "yes- sometimes", but I'm not nearly as meek or teachable as I'd like to be or think I ought to be.Bonitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13945043297139219733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400438293981397046.post-72391005990642965652009-04-01T12:12:00.000-07:002009-04-01T12:12:00.000-07:00Meek, me?

Yes, Kay, just ANOTHER area I need to work on. :-) <BR/><BR/>I thnk meek means in the presense of God. Not meek with men, but meek, humble, obedient with our relationship with him. Because sometimes we have to be strong in our earthly relationships.

Thats the image I want to uphold and meekness just doesnt fit that mold.<BR/><BR/>But that Bible has a way of cutting through my haughty ways. THanks for the reminder. I think :)<BR/><BR/>DavidRed Letter Believershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18028834960447509536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400438293981397046.post-34064155925502262272009-04-01T04:31:00.000-07:002009-04-01T04:31:00.000-07:00I must admit that the term meekness often gets mis...I must admit that the term meekness often gets misinterpreted with weakness - they rhyme and all. To show that we are teachable, means we don't know it all - and God knows I love to be a 'know it all'. It's a good reminder to not just BE meek, but to let others see your meekness.
