I enjoy teaching because I like to learn. Research, study and reading are always satisfying--even better when the lesson topic is spiritual formation. To go to the library and check out 16 books, spread them out on the dining table and begin to research feeds my soul.
There is an old Yiddish custom:
When young children completed a page of study, the teacher dropped a dot of honey on the bottom of the page. The children were encouraged to dip their finger in the honey and taste the sweetness of learning.
For an excellent children's book on the sweetness of learning, go to the library and check out Patricia Polacco's The Bee Tree.
