Always a Pupil

There is an old song that features people of different ages singing the same chorus-the chorus goes like this:
HE'S STILL WORKING ON ME
TO MAKE ME WHAT I NEED TO BE
IT TOOK HIM JUST A WEEK TO MAKE THE MOON AND STARS
THE SUN AND THE EARTH AND JUPITER AND MARS
HOW LOVING AND PATIENT HE MUST BE
'CAUSE HE'S STILL WORKING ON ME
Picture a 4 year old, a 30 year old and a 90 year old all singing!
Not one of us has learned all there is to learn on this journey-there is always something to glean if we are willing to keep learning and growing in the process to be more like Christ~
I for one feel like I HAVE A WHOLE LOT MORE to learn in each day I'm given-
Did you know that the word "pupil" has two meanings? It is the opening in the center of the iris that receives light AND it is also a student learning from a teacher or mentor-I think it is kind of cool that light allows one to see better or something anew-kind of like learning wouldn't you say? ;D
