-----------------------------------------

Me Thinks

hold what you treasure most in life close because you never know when its gone or going to be taken from you. 

Make memories. Pick your battles.

Think does it really matter? or what matters most?

Listen to them.

Help them learn respect, accountability, responsibility, honestly

help them find their passion, drive  and what they are good at...

Build them up. Hug them. Hold them close.

give them consequences, life lessons and learn from them, move on.... 

Be the parent.

Be an example.

Hold them close.

and get rid of the junk in your life. move on. inspire. learn. grow.

get a strong testimony...your going to need it.

there's no halfway...

Teach them.

Pray for them. Pray with them.

Know what they are doing and where they are.

No time for stupid mistakes...selfishness..... on our parts....

 “Give your child a compliment and a hug; say, ‘I love you’ more; 

always express your thanks. 

Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved. 

Friends move away, children grow up, loved ones pass on. 

It’s so easy to take others for granted, until that day when they’re gone from our lives and we are left with feelings of ‘what if’ and ‘if only. 

Let us relish life as we live it, 

find joy in the journey 

and share our love with friends and family." -TSM

Life is to short.

 

Have a beautiful week.. Make it count.
