The Discipline of God – Hebrews 12:1 – 12:8

Dad is Prepared, Prepare Yourself

I heard about a young boy who went off to one of these extremely expensive universities. The bills were coming in monthly to his parents, and they were struggling to keep their heads above water. One day the boy’s mother received a letter from him that read like this: “Dear Mom: I’m writing to inform you that I have flunked all of my courses. I had an accident and totally wrecked my car, I owe the clothing store in town $2000, and I have been suspended for the next semester because of misconduct. I am coming home, prepare Dad!” His mother wrote a one line letter back to him that just said this: “Dear son: Dad is prepared, prepare yourself.” (Source Unknown).
