The Teaching Tablecloth

Yesterday, I walked to the Dollar General Store and purchased a plastic tablecloth, because the one on my kitchen table had grown soiled and ragged looking. When I took the tablecloth out of the wrapper today, I noticed the following five words that had been stamped onto the cloth:

1) Believe

2) Breathe

3) Dream

4) Inspire

5) Love

Beloved, it is always good to be observant, for we never know what we may see or find that will provide us with a teachable moment.

Purchasing the teaching tablecloth was such a moment!
