What values do you have? What is important to you? What makes you happy and for how long?
Is it money and the things that can be bought with it?
Is it being appreciated, cared for, nurtured, protected?
What makes you feel real? Is it receiving awards and other forms of recognition, or is it helping others?
When you make your transition from this earth your body will be left behind as though it were a useless wooden log.
How much time are you going to spend taking care of what will become a useless wooden log? How much time will you spend on developing the real eternal you?
To My Sons
Honor, truth, and manhood: these are the values that endure.
A man’s word is his bond. How strong is your bond? It should be stronger than the law. People get around the law by adhering to the letter of the law. A man’s word deals with the spirit of the law. Let your yes be yes, and your no be no. The truth cannot be gotten around.
Real men exhibit honor and truth. Real men make good husbands and good fathers. They are a support to women and a guide to children.
Honor, truth, and manhood, these are the values that endure.
To My Daughters
You were created to bring life into this world and to nurture it.
All of life needs to be nurtured. You have the unique life sustaining ability to nurture.
It is the need to be nurtured that draws men and children to you.
For a child, security is opening the door to his home and hearing mom in the kitchen. Did you have that security in your home? Do you want to provide that security in a child’s home?
You were created to bring life into this world and to nurture it. Are you prepared to do it?
