You never know how right your parents were until you grow up – that’s what I’ve realized.
It’s 12 : 57 PM on day 1965 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Colossians 2, learn one new thing –Popcorn is a special kind of corn. Of all the types of corn, popcorn is the only variety that pops. Inside each kernel of popcorn is a tiny droplet of water surrounded by a hard shell called a hull. As the popcorn is heated, the water turns into steam, which builds pressure inside the kernel.– go to church – the sermon was titled “A Man Named Andrew” and was about (you guessed it) the disciple Andrew and how he served in the background without expecting anything in return (that sermon makes me think of my friends Catherine Constantinides, Brent Lindeque and Sebastian Schütte they do so much for so many people and expect nothing in return (sometimes I think they are a figment of my imagination thankfully for humanity they really do exist)) – have breakfast and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign –raised $1 616 so far only $4 634 more to raise by 10 Jan 2017 (SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far
).
Today I took the liberty of writing down all the things that my parents said to me growing up that I apply to my life right now (I hope my parents don’t read this it’s evidence that I actually listen when they speak LOL 🙂 ). Take a look:
3 Sayings from my parents to build a life on
- Everything that has come is for the best and everything that will come is for the best – mom always says this in times of uncertainty.
- Don’t put all your eggs in one basket – my dad always says this in a financial context but I think it applies to other areas of life as well (it’s always a good idea to have a Plan B).
- Obedience is better than sacrifice – it’s my dad’s go-to line when we are reluctant to do what he tells us to.
