In light of my last post, here are a few life lessons I've learned from my cousin:
- "15 minutes + dark alley = happy big brother" (posted on Facebook after his younger sister's boyfriend broke up with her)
- "I will break both his thumbs. Have you ever seen a guy zip up his pants with broken thumbs? You can't do ANYTHING with broken thumbs." (again said after his sisters boyfriend broke up with her)
- Family is everything. Without family, there isn't anything else.
- Your Mother is someone you should adore, trust, confide in and seek council from. She is your greatest friend and biggest fan.
- Bear your testimony to your children and siblings often - you never know when you'll run out of opportunities to do so.
- Tell your spouse how much you adore them every day - because if it ends up being your last one, you will have no regrets and neither will they.
- 'It takes a bigger man to change a diaper than it does to leave it for your wife. It takes a bigger man to help with the dishes or clean the house than to leave it for your wife. There is no such thing as women's work - it's all just work."
- Learn the scriptures. Don't just read them - make them part of you.
- Always keep Christ at the center of everything you do. If He is already a part of your home and your heart, it will be much easier for Him to comfort you through the trying times in life.
