For as long as we can remember, Dad was the first one up in the morning.
His breakfast staple: 2 eggs with toast and a cup of coffee. Then he’d dash to work before any of us could catch up.
At some point in time, we joined him for breakfast…it wasn’t hard to convince him to make us eggs too.
And so became the breakfast norm!
Today, all the grandkids fondly look forward to ‘Grandpa Eggs’ because no one else knows how to make eggs just like Grandpa!
I’m grateful for my dad and the impact he makes in my life. Although, he’s not perfect, what he taught me still influences me today.
As we approach Father’s Day, I’d like to share with you some of the things he taught me. I hope they bless you as much as they’ve guided me around the globe!
Here they are. Lessons from Dad:
When you borrow something, always return it in better condition than when you received it.
Always help a neighbor in need.
Don’t seek revenge, but rather stay honest in your actions.
Be generous, even in difficult times.
Always tell the truth.
Always be on time.
Keep your word even when it costs you.
Do what is right – even when no one is watching.
Work hard and don’t make excuses.
Always speak the best of others, expecting to see the good in them.
I’m amazed at how well those lessons have served me everywhere I go!
Praise God for dads!
Have a blessed Father’s Day, and if there’s anything I can come alongside in prayer with you, please write me back or comment below!
Happy Father’s Day!
