“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28
and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” ~~ Proverbs 22:6
Just as all goodness finds its definition in the ground of GOD’s goodness, so all truth is judged according to the standard of the truth of GOD.
My sister’s little boy
Came in the kitchen one evening
While she was fixing supper
And he handed her a piece paper
He had been writing on
And after wiping her hands on her apron
She took it in her hands and read it
And this is what it said:
For mowing the yard $5
And for making up my own bed this week $1
For going to the store $.50
And playing with little brother while you went shopping $.25
Taking out the trash $1
And for getting a good report card $5
And for raking the yard $2
Total owed $14.75
How much would your child charge you, or how much did you charge your parents?
