Dad of my Childhood

through a child's eyes

Golden book stories
sitting on your knee
watching war movies
and westerns
and detective shows
In the garage
wood shavings galore
and hammering too
nails and chisels
and hinges and more
Watching you play basketball
and standing under the ski jump
watching you fly
Picking peas and rhubarb in the garden
and eating them before they could get inside
Playing with the big white rabbit
















Riding my bike
Eating Weatbix and toast
Drinking coffee and beer
Milk coffee biscuits
Smoked Cod and potatoes
Meatballs and gravy
Sweet and sour pork
Salami and cheese
Jam sandwiches....

my hero, my dad

Three little things that can make a big difference

On my radio programme this morning I shared three little things that can make a big difference to your day (not to mention other people who are the recipients)
Winston Churchill said "attitude is a little thing that can make a big difference" bless him, he was right!! A cheerful attitude costs nothing and is infectious.
Proverbs 17:22
A cheerful heart is good medicine

The second thing is a smile. You can smile at anyone, sometimes they smile back, often they don't.
Doesn't matter, smile anyway!

The third thing is a random act of kindness. Maybe a quick email or phone call to someone you care about, just to say hi, I'm thinking of you, how are you? Maybe a small gift for someone close, maybe a special pot of soup for a friend, maybe.........

Be inspired, be an inspiration!

Psalm 23

A psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my shepherd;
I have all that I need.
2 He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams.
3 He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name.
4 Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me.
5 You prepare a feast for me
in the presence of my enemies.
You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
6 Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord
forever.

Have a wonderful blessed day!!
