Memaw Summer Camp - Day 8

Our three littlest boys

"Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed...Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken." (Eccl. 4:9,12)

Lesson #7: Better together.

From A Chancellor Ferry Tale:

“Pete,” Mr. Weatherby called.

“Yes, sir?” Peter answered.

“Come help me mend the fence when you’re done in the garden.”

“Yes, sir,” Peter said.

“Some children, nowadays, complain if they have to carry a paper plate to the wastebasket after a microwaved lunch,” noted Mrs. Willowkins.  “But Peter liked working on the farm – especially alongside his papa…”

Peter held the boards Mr. Weatherby nailed to the posts and sang boisterously. Norman joined in on the chorus:

“To the work! To the work! Let the hungry be fed;

To the fountain of life let the thirsty be led;

In the CROSS and its vict’ry our glory shall be,

While we herald the tidings, “Salvation is free!”

“Work for Him by His grace;

Work through Him for His praise;

Work with Him all the days;

And work in Him in many ways.”
