When I was a little kid, my mom had these Value Tale books. These value tale books basically talked about different values in each book.
There was a book The Value of Saving: The Story of Benjamin Franklin, The Value of Laughter: The Story of Lucille Balle
The Story of Believing in Yourself, the story of Louis Pastore.
Well I’ve been reading these to Brenna and Bristol at night and the story that really got me thinking was the The Value of Determination: The Helen Keller Story.
Now, I’m sure you know who Helen Keller is, she was born with sight, hearing and the ability to talk, but she caught a horrible fever and fell sick and lost her sight and her hearing, which led her to also become a mute.
Anne Sullivan was brought in to help Helen learn.
At first, Helen was determined to act out, but her teacher, Anne was also determined. Determined to help Helen learn.
It got me thinking, I have had some situations and circumstances in my life where I had to be determined. I was determined to graduate basic training, to finish school and to launch my own business.
But I have never been so determined as say a Helen Keller or Anne Sullivan. But reading this story to my daughters and the message it instills, just filled me with gratitude. I am grateful to live my life and to be able to have the sight and ability to read to my daughters. Grateful that my daughters have their health and vision, and hearing and can laugh.
I’m determined to give them the life they deserve.
Brenna asked me yesterday, daddy what’s rich? I told her rich means “an abundance” or “ a lot of something”
I told her “we’re rich in love, because there is a lot of love in this family”
I also told her you can be rich in terms of money.
Explaining that rich is a mindset to a 5 year old wasn’t that hard, I think she got it.
