Words of Wisdom from my Papaw
This is something that was in my grandfather's funeral program that he wrote. I thought that I would share it because it is very insightful. He only had a sixth grade education but was definitely equipped with a PH.D. in the school of life. I will miss him greatly, but I am proud to say that he was my grandfather. I will write more about him and the funeral later and also my last 3 plus years and everything that has happened. I included a picture of all of my Papaw's grandsons. I am the oldest of all the grandchildren.

1. He should be a good servant to God - Matthew 22:37-39 Because God loved us first, He should be first. John 3:16
2. He should be a good father and replenish the earth with loved ones. Luke 12:15, Mark 8:36
3. He should be a good friend to everyone; for "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13
4. He should ask God to help him find his talent, and do the best that he can to do his job right - if it is a doctor, a lawyer, carpenter, farmer, businessman, or a yard servant, etc.
5. He should be an extra good teacher to pass on to the young people what he has learned.
6. He should be a good prayer to God, because you need to talk to him every hour to make it through the sinful world.
7. He should be a good listener.(We all fail in this because we all have a mind of our own.)
8. He should be a good planner. You have to plan ahead a lot of the tim. We should plan where we go and what we do. Read the story of the "Three Little Pigs."
9. He should be a good brother. Jesus said whatsoever you do unto my brother, you do unto me.
10. He should be a good warrior, for he should fight for what he believes in.
