Time is the most valuable gift you can give...material things will fade away...but the memories of your time spent will last.
Each year I try to have a different Theme for Father's & Mother's Day. This year I collected various vintage clocks and surrounded the program with things to do with "Time"....my thoughts kept coming back to "Time"..... when I tried to think of what was the most important quality in great Fathering? What touches a kids life the most? And~ more than anything...it is the time you give to others... teaching, laughing, playing, & loving. A child doesn't care if his daddy or grandpapa is handsome, successful, rich or poor. A child is connected, impacted, and enriched by one who gives their time, attention, listening ear and patience to the child on a consistent basis. Time is gone in a flash. Time is not valuable just by filling it up with activity or work or it's swiftly passing moments....its value is in the richness of our relationships.... by what you do, feel, say, live, & love you have for others in those minutes.
