Life Wisdom from Dad

My adult son recently requested from me my top-ten life lessons that I learned and can now can pass on. This is what I concluded:


1.       Begin every life journey with prayer and seeking the Lord’s wisdom in Scripture and the counsel of Godly people.


2.      Expect the unexpected because the Lord orders our steps. A misstep, a failure or a barrier does not mean it your journey is not from the Lord. It may be a course change.



3.      Never stop learning.



4.      Do your best to speak and write correctly.



5.      Prepare a plan and be flexible to a change by the Holy Spirit.



6.      God comes first, and family is a close second. Do not ignore your family’



7.       Treat everyone with respect regardless of age, gender and ethnicity.



8.      Asking for help is not a sign of weakness.



9.      Always be thankful for what you have and do not dwell on what you do not have



10.   Enjoy your life journey and always encourage others.
