Letters To My Children

My Worst Boss And How I Handled Them

Thomas Less, April 1, 2024April 1, 2024

Dear Children,

Reflecting on the question of who was the worst boss I ever had and how I dealt with them has taken me some time. Honestly, looking back, I can’t say I’ve had truly bad bosses. Each person who’s been in charge of me left me with valuable lessons, even if it wasn’t clear at the time.

One of my first jobs was on a food processing line at …

Remember The Valleys

Thomas Less, March 6, 2024March 6, 2024

Dear Children,

I’ve been mulling over your question about the most beautiful place I’ve ever visited, and I find myself torn between two very different places for very different reasons. One is Banff, Canada, for its sheer natural beauty, and the other is Israel, for its profound historical and spiritual significance. However, I’ll focus on Banff in this letter, as it’s a place that’s strikingly beautiful in a purely visual …

If you had to go back in time and start a brand new career, what would it be?

Thomas Less, January 31, 2024January 31, 2024

Dear Children,

You asked me an intriguing question: if I could go back in time, would I choose a different career? I’ve pondered this for weeks, and it’s more complex than it might seem. You see, I believe life is about fulfilling a purpose, the one God created us for. My purpose, though it has slightly changed in wording over the years, has long been: through Jesus, to courageously love, …

Just Playing Games

Thomas Less, January 30, 2024January 30, 2024

Dear Children,

I was thinking about what kind of games or toys I played with when I was young. Let me take you through some of my cherished memories. My older brother Ken, who’s no longer with us, used to make wooden barns, just like the ones we grew up around on the farm. He made one for Gary and me. Gary, as you know, always had a special connection …

What Am I Proudest Of?

Thomas Less, January 20, 2024January 22, 2024

Dear Children,

You asked me about one dimension I am most proud of in my life. Honestly to speak, there is no such dimension since whatever good happened into my life was the work of the Christ Jesus and not mine. Let me narrate you a few stories.

When I was about 10 or 12, my sister and her husband took me camping. Her husband bought me a hunting knife. …

So You Want To Talk Comfort Food…

Thomas Less, January 14, 2024January 14, 2024

Dear Children,

So we want to talk about comfort food! Now, I like to eat food rather than talk about it, but food has been a bit of a journey for me over the years.

You see, growing up in a big family, I learned to appreciate whatever was put on the table. Watching Grandma cook for 12 people was something else. She’d work so hard, and then hearing anyone …

What Was Our Wedding Like?

Thomas Less, January 3, 2024January 3, 2024

My Dear Children,

As I recount your mother and I’s wedding, my heart is full of warmth. Our journey to that day was a tale of love, passion, faith, and youthful innocence. It was a cold day, but the sun shone with a clarity that seemed to be a blessing from above.

Your mother coming down the aisle was almost angelic in her off-white wedding dress, a choice made to …

Luke 10:21-24 Like a child

Thomas Less, May 17, 2017

21At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.

22“All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except …

Luke 10: 17-20 Love is more powerful than power

Thomas Less, May 15, 2017May 15, 2017

17The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”

18He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names …

Luke 10: 8-16 We’re just the messengers

Thomas Less, May 4, 2017

8“If you enter a town and it welcomes you, eat whatever is set before you. 9Heal the sick, and tell them, ‘The Kingdom of God is near you now.’ 10But if a town refuses to welcome you, go out into its streets and say, 11‘We wipe even the dust of your town from our feet to show that we have abandoned you to your fate. And …
