Daddy's Hands

As of lately my hands have been consistently covered in soil, and being colored by the damp pigments from soaking spent flowers as I remove them to promote new growth. It is greatly important my two sons that you carry great pride in the work that you do with your hands, but also having the certainty that God's Glory affixed those hands to your person and that it is for his glory that you engage each of your endeavors. There is also a great importance that you know when it comes time that you my sons begin having children of your own; it will be your responsibility to then instruct your children in the way of God's will. Without the chief architect that indeed crafted all mankind, our daily tasks instantly become unimportant. Keep these words and words like them near your heart always. Always carry a song for the Lord.

The hungrier the cat is, the harder he will undoubtedly hunt. - Dad

A Firm Handshake

      My Son, I find it at this time, an age at which it has become apparent to me is a vital age for a father to teach his son the principles of a firm handshake. For this reason exclusively I sit at my lap top writing these words to you know as I get up after a sentence and go to your crib-side and introduce myself to you.I give encouragement towards you for us to have a mutual agreement as we exchange with one another this, a firm handshake. This is a time in your life, of which you may have little recollection, when your age only approaches 3 months. You play with your turtle as you await my return; each time I come to you I see great amazement that this guy is back again, awaiting my firm handshake.Always find time my son, for your son, and teach him the principles of a firm hand shake. As arising comes the time, when this lesson has put you to sleep, I see you grasping the covers and thus I proceed to tuck you in tight and turn out the light, after a kiss and a firm handshake.
