Who you are is more important than what you say. Bottom line: The quality of your own spiritual life is of greatest importance to your child’s spiritual development. This was one of the most important insights of the Puritans on the subject of the family. Here is what two of them wrote: “Precept without patterns will do little good; you must lead [children] to Christ by examples as well as counsel; you must set yourselves first, and speak by lives as well as words; you must live religion as well as talk religion” (Eleazar Mather). “Be sure to set good example before your children… Other methods of instruction probably will not do much good, if you don’t teach them by a godly example. Don’t think your children will mind the good rules you give them if you act contrary to those rules yourselves… If your counsels are good, and your examples evil, your children will be more like to be hurt by the latter, than benefited by the former” (Benjamin Wadsworth).

"Operation"
 
 
When his auto mechanic came in for an operation, Dr. Grimley couldn't help but take the opportunity to turn the tables on him.
 "Well Frank," said the doctor, "It's going to take at least five days for the parts to get in. As for the cost, there's no way to tell until we get in there and see exactly what the problem is."
"Second Opinion"
 
 
This guy was climbing a tree when suddenly he slipped. He grabbed at a branch and was hanging in mid air. After an hour, he felt himself getting exhausted and looked up to the heavens and cried out: "God, help me! Please, help me!"
 
All of a sudden the clouds parted and a voice boomed out from on high. "Let Go!" said the voice.
 
The guy paused, looked up at heaven once more, and said: "Is there anyone else up there?"
 
 
"How Serious"
 
 
A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's
 office.
 "Is it true," she wanted to know, "that the medication
 you prescribed has to be taken for the rest of my life?"
 "Yes, I'm afraid so," the doctor told her.
 There was a moment of silence before the senior lady
 replied, "I'm wondering, then, just how serious is my condition
 because this prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS'."
