inside their school building.

Whenever you are dealing with people, you must always remember that there is tomorrow and you might need them tomorrow. You may end up needing help from the people who are asking for your help today, so help as much as you can.
Life is like a moving wheel, sometimes you are up and sometimes you are down. Sometimes we destroy the bridges that we might need to help us cross back tomorrow. Sometimes we treat people as though there is never going to be tomorrow. We sometimes act as though we will never need help from anyone. Remember there’s tomorrow.
Joseph helped the cup-bearer in prison and later the cup-bearer connected Joseph with Pharaoh. Imagine how Portiphar’s wife felt when she heard that Joseph was now the Governor of Egypt, after she had falsely accused him. The brother who sold Joseph away ended up being fed by him. Don’t ever think of going to the extreme with your offenders, they might be rescuers tomorrow. Always remember that there is tomorrow and it will surely come.
In conclusion, remember the tale of the missing goat when facing challenges or feeling a sense of lack in your life. Just like the nonexistent goat number 3, many of our worries may stem from imaginary sources or unrealistic expectations.
Instead of dwelling on what we don’t have, let’s focus on appreciating the blessings and opportunities that surround us each day.
By embracing gratitude and contentment, we can find true happiness in the present moment. Life is a journey filled with ups and downs, but it’s important to stay positive and keep moving forward.
Treat others with kindness and respect, for you never know when you may need their help in the future.
Always remember, there is tomorrow and it holds endless possibilities. So, live each day with hope, faith, and a grateful heart, knowing that brighter days are ahead.
