Life More Abundantly

My dad has used this brush since before I was born.  Every time I see it I am filled with memories of my childhood, because any time that brush is sitting on a counter, my Dad is near by.

This brush says a lot about my Dad.  He’s been using the same brush for almost 40 years, because it’s still a good brush.  My dad doesn’t care that it’s banged up and ugly - it has all its bristles and it does the job.  When my dad finds something that works, he sticks with it and he had better have a REALLY GOOD reason to change. That’s a comforting trait in a Dad.  I have never in my life wondered if my Dad was going to get bored being my Dad, or being a husband.

So you may see a cracked, dinged up, really old brush in this picture, but I see some of the things I love most about my Dad - reliability, loyalty and constancy.  Oh, and a total disregard of fad and fashion, because it really is an ugly brush.
