A
friend of mine recently shared what he considered to be a choice
learning experience. It was provided by his young son. Upon returning
home from his day’s work, this father greeted his boy with a pat on the
head and said, “Son, I want you to know I love you.”
The
son responded with, “Oh Dad, I don’t want you to love me, I want you to
play football with me.” Here was a boy conveying a much-needed message.
The world is filled with too many of us who are inclined to indicate our love with an announcement or declaration.
