"The key, in a sense, to our family is how we treat the child that tests us the very most. That child alone enables the other children to sense and feel that our love is unconditional. And that knowledge, that inward sensing, that inward feeling, is beyond price" (Covey).
It's not the student that is easiest to work with that teaches us the limits of our love, it's the one that tests, pushes, challenges, disrupts, fights, and resists that teaches us the most. I suppose it is those students I should be most thankful for, because they show me the limits of my commitment and love and afford me the opportunity to repent when I recognize it.
