“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Thursday; April 24, 2008

 

          I recall a few years back, when mopeds began to make a comeback, I wondered why would anyone want one?  They don’t have much power and they aren’t good for much other than shuttling us back and forth from home to work.  Now with gas approaching $4 a gallon, every time I pass one in SUV I think, “Man, I wish I would have bought one of those back then!”

          Sometimes it’s the little things – which at some point might seem insignificant – that can make a big difference.  For example, when raising our children, we often think about the inheritance we invest for them or the education we give them; but, when was the last time we thought about the spirit we leave them?  At the beginning of the Christian movement, an early writer noted, “… fathers, do not provoke your children to anger; but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” (Ephesians 6:4).   On the surface this might appear to be a little thing; but, it can make a big difference. 

          Let’s invest wisely in our children, so that when a crisis hits their lives we don’t have to say, “Man, I wish I would have done that back then.”

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
