Michael told me about it too. I'm glad you had to apologize, even though you didn't feel it.<BR/><BR/>I learned a long time ago, that sometimes you have to forgive people, even when you don't feel like it, because it is what God has modeled for us and has commanded us to do. The feelings come after the action. You did the right thing by apologizing, and now, you truly are sorry for hurting his feelings.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure that if you talked to him about it now, you would both laugh.<BR/><BR/>I heard the good news and that you can stay in Germany indefinitely. I am so envious of your opportunity.<BR/><BR/>KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10969913.post-62699671888720100282008-02-21T20:25:00.000+01:002008-02-21T20:25:00.000+01:00Karen - that's great that your students will do he...Karen - that's great that your students will do helpful little things like that... sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference. :) Hmm, I don't know whether my Mom or I told you that story... but it was with Michael Moore, if I remember correctly. :)Mary Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08128463500683135694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10969913.post-48309907574411355852008-02-18T13:23:00.000+01:002008-02-18T13:23:00.000+01:00Mary, I remember the whole going through the oppo...Mary, I remember the whole going through the opposite door ordeal. I didn't witness it so either you, your mom must have shared it.<BR/> I love the chivalry too. Although my student can be little pills, They are very polite to pick up things I have dropped, run to the door and hold it open. I appreciate these kindnesses.<BR/><BR/>KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
