I recently had this conversation with my son Nate.
Nate: “Dad, on a scale of one to ten, how important do you feel it is, for you to be right?”
Me: “Is there an eleven?”

Good response and funny.
I’d rather be happy than right, but I don’t have small children at home.
Is this a “like Father, like Son” conversation?
This actually gave me a “light bulb” moment as it reminded me of the Scripture in Hebrews 1:3 though in part only– for my thinking here it is truly a typical father and son:
For he (the son) is the brightness of his glory (the father) and the express image of his being, upholding all things by the power of his word; (from Aramaic of the Peshitta)
So, Nate, IS there an eleven on your scale, because if not, you should probably take up your scale and walk!!
Hahaha! Good insight Irene. I do think, like most people, Nate likes to be right. But whatever his number is on the scale of 1-10, it’s way below 11. I’ve learned a lot from him in this area.
