The older I get there is an awakening of a sweet desire to be remembered by my family and friends as a “yes” person, not a “no” person. I remember well the story of a man who once stood beside a river looking for a way to cross. Several men, Thomas Jefferson among them, rode up on horses. The man politely asked Jefferson for a ride and was given one. Someone asked the man why he had asked “that man” instead of any of the others for the ride. The man replied that Jefferson had a “Yes” face. Father, give me a face that says, “Yes.”
