TEMPERANCE

TEMPERANCE-Its more than a word associated with restraining one from alcohol etc. Its the dominion which one has over oneself or something......the dominion which one has over his thoughts,words and action. Its power constrained,the ability to hold one self in(self control). 

The reason I was with him for so many years- he was a man of temperance. He never used his ace,never competed with me. He had all the power,the reasons to, but chose not and for me that will always be what set him apart from the rest.The are certain people if they know something or have achieved some success, we will all never sleep. The were times I cried on my own especially when he became the bigger one and chose not to put an ace on the table. I will like to think his faith played a major role on this,maybe it had to do with how he was raised I can't really put my finger on what made him excel in how he handled me. You know when you know without a doubt that someone is on the right and they have every reason under the sun to make you feel/tell  you, you messed up but they choose not to......or when someone has a certain position of power or achievement and no one will see it as a crime if they were to flaunt it but they choose not to. This humbled me time and time again, as a result his arms were the only place I felt safe and indeed I was! He had a way with me! Dad likes to say we should give credit where its due and honour to whom honour is due and this is in a nutshell what I am doing. I salute him!!!!!!!
