What is the best advice you have heard from your dad or any dad ?
International Harvester, some years back. The doors did not lock auto, I pushed down buttons and then locked the driver’s door with the key, from outside. No way to lock the keys inside.
Every car since, I find an out of the way place on the frame and wire up a spare.
If you think you might need a gun if you go somewhere, you probably shouldn’t go there.
I thought I was getting old when one day I looked into the mirror and saw my father looking back at me.
And sometime later, I thought I was really getting old when I looked into my son’s face and saw my father looking back at me.
But today, Fathers Day, I looked into my grandson’s face, saw my father looking back at me, and then I knew I was really getting old.
Think Positive!!
Sorry - I stole it!

To always put your family first.
Growing up we’d always hear him say God Bless America.
We grew up thankful to be in America because my parents came here from another country for a better life.
THANK YOU EVERYONE , PLEASE ADD TO THE LIST ..>>DOESNT HAVE TO BE FATHERS DAY TO SHARE WISDOM
“If you make a doormat out of yourself, you’re gonna get walked on”.
Sumbitch ! You need to get out of my head.
“Marry that girl and join the Air Force!”
“Son,...” he said, “...turn off your Caps Lock before I slap the taste out of your mouth.”
“If it’s worth doing twice, it’s worth doing right the first time” (or, “if you have time to do it twice...”)
To me a senior in college-”If you are thinking about grad school, do it now. You’re poor and used to being poor” Didn’t listen.
“Trust God always, and pray unceasingly.”
“God always answers prayers. Sometimes the answer is ‘No.’ “
“Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Be the ant, not the grasshopper.”
Sadly, I can say that my Dad never gave me any Sage advise.
From the time I was 12 years old back in the 1970’s I was a classic “latch Key kid” being raised by my working mother.
I did whatever I wanted and did my best to not get arrested.
Years later when I found Christ on my own and actually had an honest Man to Man talk, the only thing that I can recall is him telling me to, “Read the Book of Job”.
Years earlier, as my 3 Year old Daughter began singing little jingles she had heard on TV, I explained to her that virtually everything she sees on TV is “produced”. Produced by people that either want to sell you something or convince you of something. It isn’t real.
I hope my Daughter will never forget that lesson.
So far so good.
Ok not exactly advice but I did hear it often enough. :)
1. Keep God first in your life.
2. You are mine and I have always loved you but I like the person you have become as well. (Again, not advise but one of my proudest moments)
3. There is no use staying up worrying about things before they happen. Nine times out of ten they don't and you will need all your strength to deal with that tenth item.
4. Make sure you marry someone you would choose as a friend.
5. Always give to missions.
6. If someone is hungry, share your biscuit.
Don’t know - I didn’t listen.
