WHAT WILL YOU MAKE OF YOUR CHILDREN?
WHAT WILL YOU MAKE OF YOUR CHILDREN?
A blacksmith maks $5.00 worth of iron into
horseshoes, and gets $10.00 for them.
A cutler makes the same iron into knives and
gets $200.00.
The machinist makes the same iron into need-
les and gets $6,800.00.
The watchmaker takes it amd makes it into
mainsptings and gets $2,00,000.00; or into hair-
springs and gets $2,000,00,.00; sixty times the
value of the same weight in gold.
So it is with life and the opportunity that
is given to each of us, One takes his time
and talents and combines them to advance
his earthly interests alone. Another takes the
same opportunity and, through wisdom and coun
of God's Word, shapes and molds his life for
time and eternity-
One set of parents will bring children intio
the world and give no thought at all to the eternal
destiny of their children: They simply allow them
to "grow bigger", With no higher aim to their
existance than to make money and spend money
in the persuit of satisfying the lust of the flesh.
Another set of parents will will bring children in-
to the world and immediately set about to point
to Almighty God. In doing so, they do the
best thing that parents can do for their pre-
cious children.
It has been said, "that every child has a right
to a Christian mother and father."
QUESTION? What are we as parents making of
the precious children that God has given us to
prepare them for their eternal destiny??
