MY WISH FOR MY KIDS AND GRANDKIDS:

You get the A's, and I have the B's for you:

1. Be Grateful. Be thankful to God for all His blessings, be thankful for all you have and for all that He has made you.

2. Be Smart. Do your best always to excel in all things. Apply yourself as "a workman that needs not to be ashamed." God expects your best, so give the best you have in all things.

3. Be clean. The world is full of sleaze and filth. You are better than that. Keep yourself, your body, your heart, and your mind, clean and spotless in every respect. Sleaze only destroys, and the outcome of filth is always destruction.

4. Be True. Shakespeare said, "..To thine ownself be true..." Be faithful and true in all that you are. Be true to God, to your loved ones, and to yourself. Truth always wins in the end!

5. Be humble. You are not your own, but God's. He has given you much, and you owe everything to Him. Never exalt yourself at the expense of others, it's ugly. Be humble before God and He will exalt you.

6. Be prayerful. Your relationship with God is all-important. You can never have a relationship with anyone if you never talk to them. Pray in praise to God for His goodness, pray in thanksgiving for His gifts, pray in humility for His greatness in you, and pray in submission to His will in your life. Pray in love for His love, and for the love He has given you by sending His Son Jesus to be the sacrifice for your sins. Seek His guidance and you can never go wrong.



Keep these B's as a gift from me, and from a loving and kind God, hold them dear to your heart, and God will always hold you close to His heart.
