Renkel"<BR/><BR/>This is so true! My dad is an example. Though he was a lawyer, he worked for the poor so we lived a simple life when I and my siblings were growing up, but, we learned so much from him and we now try to apply the many good lessons in life he taught us.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Easter Almuenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09633972724785600623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028562.post-75310149597277765372008-04-08T20:29:00.000-05:002008-04-08T20:29:00.000-05:00This is a great post!

I never understood that because I felt the same way about it as you write here. I feel like our hubs' are asked the much harder task!Laura The Crazy Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08904542599983127845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34028562.post-20749390180056727772008-04-07T14:45:00.000-05:002008-04-07T14:45:00.000-05:00I love this post.

It's so powerful.<BR/>BeckyMama of 5https://www.blogger.com/profile/17476287236959497710noreply@blogger.com
