Stupid is what Stupid Does

Proverbs 25:16

By patience and a calm spirit a ruler may be persuaded,
And a soft and gentle tongue breaks the bone [of resistance].


I remember the movie Forest Gump.  He said his mom said Stupid is what Stupid does.  Sometimes you can't argue with stupid.  I had several situations today where I had to be calm with stupid.  One was a student who was not medicated and I had to think through how to handle it.  Second, one of my fellow staff who was angry with me.  Not sure if she felt I had made a bad decision or that I was trying to get out of work.  Then my boss came to me to ask me about something minor that could of been handled with a single email or decision.  

I was about at my wits end today.  I kept my cool but it was really hard.  But thankfully I am learning that I have no one to keep happy but the Lord.  Then as I was dealing with one of my stupids someone told that I was a dedicated and amazing teacher.  God is truly good.  He gives me feedback that I am doing a good job through Him at just the right time.
