I had a great father and am a blessed woman because of him. In honor of Fathers Day, I will share a few things my dad taught me.
1. You have two ears and one mouth. Use your ears twice as much as your mouth.
2. Cash is a great gift to give because people don't return it.
3. If you are feeling urgently pressured to do something with the notion that it is from God, it's probably not. God doesn't force or pressure us.
4. Take time for lowly, downcast, sick, and poor in spirit. There is true blessing in visiting the unseen.
5. Getting it done is more important than making it perfect.
6. Saying "I love you" has a huge impact. I remember the day when my dad first told me he loved me. I think I was in second grade. It made a lasting impression. He has been good about saying it since then.
7. If an "expert" says something that doesn't sound right or make sense, get another opinion.
8. Don't think you are indispensable at your work place.
9. If you pay income taxes, it means you are making money.
10. Once you have made your point, stop talking.
