What I’ve Learned… from my dad

05/20/2014 · In: relationships

IMG_0503editSome of the things on this list will always be the same. My dad continues to provide for me, to love me whole when I feel broken, to infuse me with hope and strength when I need it, and wisdom when I ask for it. Some lessons with shift as our relationship changes to adapt to my growing up. All I can say is that my dad is a gift from the Lord, one I will always be thankful for.
  • A relationship with Jesus is the most important thing you can have.
  • You can’t please everyone, all the time.
  • Make time for your family, for your wife. Work will always be there.
  • Leave no doubt for your children that there is nothing they could do to disappoint you.
  • Listen to people when they share their problems, but don’t let it affect your own soul.
  • Teach your children the simple things — how to fish, shoot a basketball, ride a bike, and swim in the deep end — and then enjoy it with them.
  • Eat slower and sit up straight.
  • Give from your heart; time, energy, love, without expecting anything in return.
  • Learn what it means to be selfless; it’s a way of revealing Christ to people.
  • Free your daughter to go have fun when you know she’s stressed out.
  • Don’t answer the phone at dinnertime.
  • Sometimes the wise decision involves thinking of your own mental, emotional, physical health.
  • Learn what it means to be a safe person in someone’s life, someone trustworthy.
  • Give grace to receive grace.
