1. They encouraged my interests, particularly in reading, buying encyclopedias for me and taking me to the library a lot.

2. No racial discrimination.

3. Bailed me out, in an appropriate way, from my many mistakes. I.E. They didn't give up on me.

This helps and explains a lot of things to me.

Mom:

1) Loving God should be the first and greatest task you ever do. If you put your all into it, everything else will fall into place.

2) In suffering there is transformation. It is my job to determine how I allow that suffering to transform me. Similarly, the right way is not always the easiest way.

3) You can't choose your parents, your siblings, your grandparents, or any other family members - except your spouse. Take the time and make the effort to choose the right person as your spouse.

 

Dad:

1) Loving God should be the first and greatest task you ever do. If you put your all into it, everything else will fall into place.

2) A job's not worth starting if you're not willing to finish it.

3) The value of learning to do something yourself is irreplaceable.
