It makes you a thankful and humble person. I try to show my son how good he has it and to keep him grounded. So far I think he understands.One of the things I appreciated about my dad & mom. We had friends from all over the neighborhood who'd "be present" about dinner time. Dad was a grocery man so we had plenty of food, usually. They never sent anybody home without feeding them too. After I'd been at their houses a time or two near dinner or overnight, I understood how fortunate I was.
Thank you. And this is very true. But those opportunities don't always present themselves, I was really struggling with it when I made this thread.Good for you brother,you never know the impact you can put on a kids life.
I meant to quote this post when I mentioned the pic in my previous post. That pic truly encompasses what you wrote. I'm glad that young man was able to be a part of it. I'm glad for ALL of them.Food and fellowship is often the best medicine for the body mind and soul.
My dad worked almost all the time. If we wanted to spend any time with him, we used to have to go to work with him, often leaving the house at about 3:30 a.m.Tough times make tough men. That young man knows how things are at his home, and how things should be by experiencing your home. When he becomes responsible for his own home, he likely won't repeat how he was raised. My dad grew up in poverty with a 7th grade education, and he swore his children would never go hungry and uneducated like he did. He kept his promise, started his own plumbing business, worked daylight to dark all week, and spent time with us on the weekends and when jobs were rained out. He was shaped by tough times, and was as fine an individual as one could be.
