Welcome to Day 1562 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomA Father's Gift – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. Our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps; thanks for coming along on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Today is Day 1562 of our Trek, and it’s time for your daily snippet of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget:
Today’s quote is from C. Neil Strait, and it is: The best gift a father can give to his child is the gift of himself — his time. For material things mean little, if there is not someone to share them with.
A Father’s Gift
There is one item in life that is not renewable, and that is time. We all have 168 hours each week to invest in any manner that you choose. If we have decided to have children, then they are one thing where we should invest our time in abundance. When your children are grown, they will remember very few of the material things you provide them, but investing time with them will reap an abundant harvest of blessings, both for them, but also for you. I understand that we do need to provide our children with food, clothing, and shelter. That requires working and investing time away from them. But are you allowing work to consume you, where you have very little time left to invest in your spouse and children? What your children need most is you, not fancy trinkets that are soon forgotten. If they have all the riches the world affords, but don’t have a dad to share his love with, then all is in vain. Invest wisely, and you are sure to reap a harvest of blessings. Learn to give the good and perfect gift of yourself to those you love.

Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.
