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 …
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 …
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, …
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 …
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. …
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 …
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 …
Letter From A Father To A Struggling Son
I know you claim they didn’t impress you, but the mountains in Banff Canada were awesome. In my prayer time this week, they were a huge inspiration to me, and I want to share that with you.
I remember the tour guide saying that these mountains were NOT the highest in the Rockies. The Grand Tetons were about 1,000 feet higher on …
