a father's chat

On Sunday, my wife and I had a "chat" with our son - a high school sophomore who could be applying himself a bit more in school. We had all the cliches -- think about the future, give yourself options, this is your job, gotta work even when not fun, yada yada. The next morning in prayer, I realized that if you substituted "life" for "school", my heavenly Father could have been having the same conversation with me! Made me smile.
