A father loves his children, just as they are.
He cares enough to give the very best—himself.
When they’re in trouble, he’s there to help.
When they need wisdom, he offers counsel.
When they have successes, he rejoices with them.
When they make mistakes, he forgives.

UP Beat or Beat Up
==================
.
My husband, Edward has always been one to give the shirt off his
back, literally, or to give his last bit of change.
.
He never asks for anything in return and he is a very hard
worker and provides well for his family. Recently, I had knee
surgery and gall bladder surgery, and he worked and took care of
me and still had time for our three kids, all less than 11 years
of age.
.
It just seems that nothing ever goes his way and now we have
been kicked out of our home of six years so our landlord can
move her friends in. We have to find another place to live soon
…and I know we will.
.
I just feel so bad that no matter how hard Edward tries,
he never gets anything or anywhere.
.
I spend a lot of time trying to understand how someone like him
stays so upbeat.
.
I have prayed for guidance, and I have prayed for silly things
like for him to be chosen for something of value. I realize we
are blessed with three happy, healthy children and fairly good
health ourselves, but now my prayers are just that he may
receive a pat on the back or something just to give him a little
boost to go on trudging through what seems to be a meager

Love Island
============
.
Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings
lived; happiness, sadness, knowledge, and all the others,
including love.
.
One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island
was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean.
So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave.
.
Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve
the island paradise until the last possible moment.
.
When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was
time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help.
Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked,
“Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?”
Richness answered, ” I’m sorry, but there is a lot of silver and
gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere.”
.
Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a
beautiful vessel. Love cried out, “Vanity, help me please.”
“I can’t help you”, Vanity said, “You are all wet and will
damage my beautiful boat.”
.
Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love said, “Sadness, please
let me go with you.” Sadness answered, “Love, I’m sorry, but, I
just need to be alone now.”
.
Then, Love saw Happiness. Love cried out, ” Happiness, please
take me with you.” But Happiness was so overjoyed that he
didn’t hear Love calling to him.
.
Love began to cry. Then, she heard a voice say, “Come Love,
I will take you with me.” It was an elder.
.
Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the

Let Go
=======
.
One day while climbing towards a high cliff a man slipped and
fell over the edge.
.
Frantic - he grabbed at a branch jutting out from a tree and
yelled out,
.
“Oh, God, help me.”
.
He looked down while holding on tight and saw only jagged rocks.
.
Clutching even tighter to the branch he cried out again,
.
“God…Please help me.”
.
Suddenly he felt God’s presence and heard God ask,
.
“My son, what can I do for you?’
.
The man, somewhat relieved, answered,
.
“Please God, help me. Save me.”
.
God said quietly,
.
“Do you love me?
.
Do you trust me?
.
Do you believe in me?”
.
“Yes, yes, I love you. I trust you and I believe in you,”
the man shouted.
.
“Well, if indeed you love me, trust me, and believe in me,
.
LET GO.”
.
With some hesitation and another look below at the jagged rocks,
the man asked,
.
“Is there anybody else up there I can talk to?”
.
We often seek other answers when our real answer can only come
when we “Let Go” of some things.
.
Though the above is an often-told joke, it is a true parable.
So often in counseling, I tell people the same thing.
.
“You have got to let go. That situation is killing you.
It is killing your peace, your finances, and your future.
.
You must let go!”
.
Often they will inwardly feel just as the hanging man asked,
.
“Is there anybody else that I can talk to, because I am afraid
to let go? I know the situation is killing me, that’s why I’m
here. I know that what I am holding on to is destined to die.
I know I cannot fully live while I remain embraced with it.
.
But I am soooo… afraid.
.
Afraid that I might fall if I let go.”
.
Like a person on drugs, you often must “come down” before you
