The Ups and Downs of Life

Life is full of good as well as bad days, It rains today and the next day the sun shines. Old folks pass away, but a child is born. Today you get a new job, but tomorrow you are fired. Your friends praise you now, but hate you down the road. You are full of life today, but are knocked off your feet tomorrow. You are protected by jonr parents today, but face life alone later. The flowers bloom now, but fade away later. We give advice today, but seek advice tomorrow. Fire destroys the forest, but heats our homes. Everything is going smooth today, but tomorrow is full of confusion. Today our team wins, but we lose the next game badly. The car starts easily now, but does not start at all the next day. He is by our side to help us now, but is sent overseas to fight a war tomorrow. Everything is peaceful today, but then an earthquake strikes. We will never understand life as long as we live. We are to keep our chins up and face it day by day looking to God for courage toface each day. Here I am going to tell of the different events of my life including my trips outside the U. S. A., 34 years of teaching, otherjobs I held, my own school days, etc.
