SHORT CUTS

Mrs. B. L. Stumbaugh submitted this story to Reader’s Digest some time back:

“My 16-year old son’s room was always a mess. I told him he couldn’t go out with his friends until he had cleaned half of it.

“Just a few minutes later, he was heading for the front door, whistling. When I confronted him, he said, “But, Mom, you told me it didn’t matter which half I cleaned, so I cleaned the top half!”

We get frustrated with our kids when they want to take short cuts, but I wonder if Father God gets just as frustrated with us when we take short cuts in our obedience to Him.

What short cuts have you seen your kids make?

Memory time. Our son is 41 now, but when he was 4 years old we told him to wash up for dinner. He came to the table with white palms and the back of his hands were still filthy. We told him he had to try again and his response was, “What for, they will just get dirty again!” Nevertheless, he washed up. Ten years later he was a neat freak.
