I couldn't take credit for my sons successes and I shouldn't take blame for his failures.<BR/><BR/>It is hard letting go but letting go is the heart of trusting God. I pray that you will be able to let go a little today.<BR/><BR/>Blessings, Bobkc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35474148.post-62137024463507851112008-05-28T08:41:00.000-04:002008-05-28T08:41:00.000-04:00Shaun, do you remember being fifteen? When I ...Shaun,<BR/> do you remember being fifteen? When I was fifteen I was convinced that my Father knew nothing. Only my friends knew what was going on. When I was twenty it was amazing how much he had learned in five years. As I look back now I wish I had followed his guidelines:<BR/>1. Never cash your paycheck. Bring it home, sign it, and give it to your wife. That way you both know how much is available and you spend the rest of the week trying to get some of it back.<BR/>2. When you get a place to live, put a coathook on the back of the front door. As you come home, hang your cojones on the coathook. You are in charge of protecting your family from everything outside of the front door. Inside the front door, you can only consent to whatever the person in charge suggests. Or, as my Father told me, "Nils, the only time you should open your mouth is to change feet.".<BR/> Your son will come around and someday you will be proud to say "That's my boy!". He will be proud to say "That's my Dad!".sandwhichistherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03268887596112837882noreply@blogger.com
