interesting thought


An interesting thought from Robert A Tucker, Author of Marriage and the Family: “ We are to see [children] as an eternal inheritance. Our children are the only earthly things that we can take to heaven. Our children must not become idols to us, nor should we favor them to their own destruction. But God wants us to invest our lives to see that they carry on in the purposes of God.”
Hmmm…Can’t take the car, the house, the PHD, the bank account, or the family pet. But we have to potential to take our children with us.
