The Lord corrects the one he loves, just as a father

Corrects a child he cares about.

A dad is someone who holds you when you cry,

Scolds you when you break the rules, 

Shines with pride when you succeed, 

And has faith in you even when you fail.

- Nishan Panwar

It is the way a father holds his child’s hand that

Makes his child feel safe. It is the way a father

Looks at his child makes his child feel cared for.

But most of all, it is the very presence of a father

To a child that makes the child feel blessed.

- Anonymous

My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard.
Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass."
"We're not raising grass," Dad would reply.  "We're raising boys."

Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end.
It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing;
it's when you've had everything to do, and you've done it.

Sometimes you don’t realize your

Own strength until you come face

To face with your greatest weakness.

- Susan Gale

Anyone can give up,

It’s the easiest thing in the world to do.

But to hold it together when everyone

Else would understand if you fell apart,

That’s true strength.

- Anonymous

Life will break you.

Nobody can protect you from that,

And living alone won’t either,

For solitude will also break you with its yearning.

You have to love. You have to feel.

It is the reason you are here on earth.

You are here to risk your heart.

You are here to be swallowed up.

And when it happens that you are broken,

Or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near,

Let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the

Apples falling all around you in heaps,

Wasting their sweetness.

Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.

- Louise Erdrich

Sometimes your joy is the

Source of your smile,

In how much wealth he acquires,

But in his integrity and his ability

To affect those around him positively.

Than to fear the worst.

And a lot more fun!
