We've all heard the expression "goes extra mile". But we know what it really means? And so I decided to seize this simple phrase in a search engine. You do not believe the amount of books, songs, poems and sermons that have been written on this popular saying. I even found a number of companies and educational institutions which are known as Extra Mile.
The idea of an additional effort comes from the Bible.In Jesus 5 Matthew taught his followers some valuable life lessons still difficile.Ce passage is quoted from verses the SEG 38-42:
You've heard that it has been said, "Eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth." but I say resist not someone badly. If anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.And if someone wants to prosecute you and take your tunic, have your manteau.Si someone go you to a thousand requires, go with him two miles. Give to the person who asks you and turn not away from those who want to borrow you.
In a society in which we are taught from an early age to ourselves, to defend our rights and to defend it seems strange to ask someone to go a little further, to give a little more, do a little work supplémentaire.En made when read in a perspective of 2009 "modern", seems a formula for the disaster. It seems to be encouraging disrespectful and abusive behaviour. It seems to suggest that a become a doormat!
How can contemporary Christian reconcile the words of Jesus with the current reality and are still appreciated and respected? How you can be dynamic and safe and still walk an extra effort?Sincerely, I do not all réponses.Je do not believe that do us. What I know is that you bring to your mind everyone likes you pave the way for this fresh voice to speak to you and tell you what to do in difficult situations. I also know that you need to plan ahead of time that just this love implies; You will show how this love, because that is how people will be able to identify you as a Christian.
There are countless situation in which you will need to go that extra mile. It may be at school, at work, at Church, traffic, or even at home. Several times to feel it, and although it is the right thing to do, as many times to feel bad. It is going to be times when you will get tired to go an extra mile, and you can ask when your turn to be favored will come. Become discouraged, press.
This year of school, I have a special needs daughter in my owner. Dee * does none of my classes, however. A few weeks ago guardian came not working. I have noticed that I walked into the classroom him sitting there. Read the confused look on my face, students quickly informed me of what was going on. I have nothing ready to attend him with 27 students of grade. My first thought was just ignore her. All the teachers who had made me exactly that.It seemed to be entertaining itself, anyway. In addition, special needs Department was too far and I could not simply let alone class and go there to inform them. And that is why I started my lesson. Students should read a passage in silent mode. The time where that room had increased again, she began to talk about the top and to itself. Twenty - seven pairs of eyes raised to ask me flinching "what are you going to do?I smiled and walked to Dee. "Would you like to learn a few words in English." Febrile, she replied that she would like that. If I make it out the scissors and glue. Then I got some old magazines and taught him a few words. She find pictures in magazines and paste them in each word.
As I worked with him, I could sense my students watch me closely. I had been trying to drum in them the importance of decency and tolerance, but talk is cheap. Now I put words into action.In the middle of the period of the class, the specialist visited by obtaining the Dee YH ' I breathed a sigh of relief. Teens may feel hypocrisy.I walked that extra mile and I had passed the test.
Is it my job to teach Dee?Not at all.There is a special guardian who gets paid to do this.But the awards show love are beyond measure.
Not always do my end of stories on a positive note.Much longer that I care to remember I acted selfish and completely discarded the feelings of the other ECE ' have been in positions to give more and more, but have finished my trip to the first mile.Récemment alike, I gave a ride to a colleague who lives about five minutes far from moi.Nous we agreed that I would fall him at a bus stop just to stop on the main street, where I transform into my quartier.Je could have easily by him on his door but I was tired and hungry and that she was already very grateful for the faveur.Si she had bus at home, it would have taken his more at least an hour to the maison.Elle was not expected to go loin.Et I, although I could easily have.
These days I reprogrammed my mind easily identify those moments where I take the decision to plus.Ce than a journey it has been!
