Day 2105: Happy Father’s Day Dad

“Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad, and that’s why I call you dad, because you are so special to me. You taught me the game and you taught me how to play it right.” –  Wade Boggs

 

It’s 12 : 20  PM on day 2105 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read 1 Samuel 2: 6-7 , learn one new thing – It took about 14 years to complete Hadrian’s Wall. The largest structure ever made by the Romans. Hadrian’s Wall was built on the orders of the Roman emperor Hadrian. – have breakfast and work on my  25 Smiles Campaign    – raised $5 910 only $340 more to raise before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far 🙂 ).

 

Today being Father’s Day here in South Africa I thought it appropriate to share some of my dad’s dadisms. Take a look:

My 3 Favourite Dadisms 

1. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket
2. Obedience is better than sacrifice
3. God only gives you a certain amount of time to make money don’t squander it/if you squander it it’s your own fault

Happy Father’s Day Dad 🙂 .

Day 279

Each one of us are God’s representatives – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 7: 50 PM on day 279 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, go to church – the sermon was entitled The Spirit of Truth and was all about how you can’t walk in God’s light if you’re dishonest – feed myself an egg sandwich for breakfast, publish my Kid of the Week feature, feed myself French fries for lunch, read The Importance of Value by Veronica (@VeronicaSchultz)– a blog post about the fact that you can change your reality just by changing what you say to yourself – and The Big Bad Baby Post by Katy (@birdonthestreet) – a blog post about two two new lives that have recently entered our world 🙂 –   tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck– feed myself rice and curry  for dinner and brush my teeth once more.

I woke up today having made up my mind that I wouldn’t wish my father a happy father’s day because quite frankly I didn’t think he deserved it but after hearing 8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” 9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.– John 14: 8-11 – I realized that I should be the bigger person and wished him a happy father’s day as soon as I got back from church. Are you a good representative of God?
