Now this is a trick question I am sure, because over the years parents dished out reams of good advice but as children did one ever listen.. Advice like

1. Always wear clean underwear if you are leaving the house – just in case you get hit by a car and end up in the hospital!
2. Saying No is okay.
3. Be kind to others always. – No one else knows what that person is going through.
4. Never take the last piece of food on the plate; someone’s need will be greater than yours.
5. It is okay to say you hate me, but remember to kiss or hug me before you leave – it may be the last time.
6 Don’t gossip about or listen to others gossiping about people it is not nice or polite.
7. Most fairy tales were written by men.
8. Be prepared, some things in life will bring discomfort.
9. Remember you can always count on me
10. But wait….there is more to life!
Well, I could probably fill a book about things my Mothet said to me over the years .. but the last one is the game changer for me…
At my lowest point in life when I thought the world was my enemy and I wanted to leap off…practising the pause and just waiting for one more breath one more sleep..one more day….it made a difference. Im glad I never found the off button or if I did – God stuck out his foot and tripped me up and I realised He alone was my true guide and Saviour.
Be blessed have faith.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
