promises

First of all, thanks for waving to me as I was coming to pick up Anna and Taylor after school today! So fun to see you as I was racing from work to get there on time. :) 

Liam, I remember reading this below from a book many years ago that a father wrote to his son with some promises that he wanted to make to his son when he was a teenager.   


First, I pledge that I will remember
always it takes a lot of love to make good children.
Next, I promise you that I will never
say “No” if I can possibly say “Yes.”
Here is my Third promise: I pledge that
I will really be with you when I am with you.
I pledge you also that I will try to
see things from a child’s point of view.
The next one is a small item, but it can be very hard
sometimes. I promise to be a good waiter.

And here is the top promise. I will do
everything I can to put your hand in the hand of your Heavenly Father.

As your godmother, I know I won't always be able to do all these things perfectly, but I'll sure try. 
I love the top promise and I'll try to do the same to put your hand in the hand of your Heavenly Father when you need a little reminder every now and then.
