Re: More Good Things
when I was young I may not have understood or appreciated all that my father had to teach me. but now that I am older and hopefully wiser I can look upon some of my actions and realize that some of the things I do, I do because that is how my father taught me.
Earlier this week I volunteered myself to assist in the repair of the mats at the Hapkido school I train at, I was told it would take up to 8 hours. I asked the man in charge if I needed to bring any tools, he said just a battery drill if I have one.
This morning when I was getting ready to go to class, yes I went to class and then stayed to fix the mats, I pretty much packed ALL of my tools. I don't if we will need a hammer but I brought one, I didn't know if a staple gun or pliers would be useful but I brought them, etc etc.
We used a lot of the tools I brought including the pliers, hammer, and staple gun. I stayed the whole time and worked hard. my contribution was greatly appreciated.
I realize that I did that because of the lessons my father taught me. He always volunteered to help at school, with boy scouts, in indian guides, anything. If somebody needed volunteers my father could be counted on to help and to work hard. My father always brought more than enough tools to get the job done. And my father was always one of the last to leave, making sure that the job was done and everything was cleaned up.
These are lessons that my fathered passed onto me and sometimes I find it interested to see these connections.
Thank you Dad
