Photo *Heart* Fridays – Yes You Can!

I can

He sat down and completed almost half of the chinese writing workbook without any prompting. I had to tell him to go easy on his handwriting practice. He exclaimed, “I can do some more, because I like to do difficult things, it is boring when it is easy!”

I wish I can have this same attitude when I face all challenges. Many times when I tell myself I can’t do a certain thing, I will likely end up not being able to do it.

Is it really so easy? Say you can and you will do it. Say you can’t and you will not be able to do it.

Well just this year, I have proven to myself that by simply believing that I can, I dove right in, forged right ahead, learning and making changes as I went. But not without following God’s leading, as only He can make it happen.

With every challenge that comes our way, the biggest obstacle for us is a ‘can’t do’ attitude. Everything can be overcome when you believe you can. It may take lots of hard work, obstacles to cross, battles to fight, mountains to climb but it is possible, just start, by believing you CAN.

“Whether you think you can, or think you can’t – you’re right ” – Henry Ford

Photo *Heart* Fridays – Take the Plunge!

Watching him dived off the edge made me nervous.

What if he loses his balance?

What if he knocks his head on the side of the wall?

Before letting him dive off, I set a couple of ground rules. “No spinning… take a big leap from the wall..no monkeying around when u jump…focus on the jump…make sure that the water is deep enough…”

He is only 5 and can surely do with some tips from his mom on how to make a safe jump into the pool.

Seeing him display so much enthusiasm and the lack of fear to take the plunge off the edge, reminds me that sometimes it might be worthwhile to take risks in my life, and take a plunge into that very thing which will make me nervous. Who knows what pleasant surprises could be in store?

Caught this tender moment between father and son one evening…

A good father is one who does not feel afraid to show his tender side to his son. Sons, not just daughters, often need that physical show of love and tenderness from their fathers, to give them the assurance that they are loved and treasured by their dads. How can a boy learn about strength and tenderness? I think the best way to learn is from his father.
