MONDAY’S CUP OF MOTIVATION

MONDAY’S CUP OF MOTIVATION

Yesterday was a day filled with mixed emotions.  For some, it was a celebration and a way to thank a father for a job well done.  For others, Father’s Day is more like a personal Memorial Day.  A day to reflect and miss the man who helped raise us and mold us into the person we are today.  Father’s Day is also the day that we celebrate the special bond we have between ourselves and our children.  No matter how old we get, we will always have our parents. They may not always be with us, but they will always be a part of us.  This week, let’s remember that work was not the topic at the table yesterday.  Being grateful to a man who did so much for us was what was important yesterday.  All the generations at the table each thought about and thanked their fathers in their own way.  Father’s Day is a reminder to us that life is short and time goes by fast.  It is only when we grow up and leave home that we truly understand what an amazing job our parents did for us.   This serves as hope for all the parents out there who sometimes struggle to raise the next generation of kids.  Let’s cherish every day we have with our family.  Work allows us to make a living.  Family allows us to make a life.  All the truly memorable moments in our life involve our family.  From one generation of parents to the next, have a phenomenal week!!

GREAT WORDS TO LIVE BY…

You’re going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it’s always their actions you should judge them by. It’s actions, not words, that matter.

Nicholas Sparks

He didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.

Show respect even to people that don’t deserve it; not as a reflection of their character, but as a reflection of yours.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

Dwell on the beauty of life.  Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.

The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.
