Father’s Day Wish List

To my children,

What is the best Father’s Day gift that you can give me?  Inculcate and live by the following wisdom:

  • You are rich when you’re content with a life full of things that money can’t buy.
  • You’ve arrived at wealth when you’re happy with a life that has a wealth of things that money can’t buy.
  • Don’t ever confuse these two things: how you make a living and how you make a life.
  • No one is really good at their work — if their work is all they are.
  • Get a life — and the only way to really get a life — is by giving away the one you have.
  • The richest life is always found in the humblest place.
  • It’s not what you do every now & then, but what you do everyday that changes everything.
  • Daily disciplines are doors to full freedom.
  • Seek out people to love and let them love you and you love them.
  • Love is not a leisurely pastime — love is giving your time to surely suffer.
  • And it’s the art of loving that will be the one great work of your life.
  • Love redemption enough in your own life that you love redemption enough for everyone.
  • Doing well in life is simple as seeing God is good — and liberally sharing God’s goodness.

Love, Papa
