Small Things Count

Think of this as Father’s WEEK.  Extend the spirit of yesterday’s Father’s Day to a man who has helped you grow.  Maybe he helped you learn right from wrong or saved you from going in a bad direction in life. Or he helped you through a physical, emotional, or spiritual crisis that became a turning point for you.  He could simply have “been there” for you when you didn’t realize that you needed someone to lean on or listened to you when no one else would.  He can be your actual dad, another relative, a friend, a teacher, a police officer, a priest, a youth leader—just about anyone.  Think awhile about what happened and what the results were of his presence in your life.  Sometime this week, go to him and explain what he did and how he made a difference.  He probably doesn’t know.  This is good for you AND for that person.
