There was a Christian couple that for many years they could not have a child. Finally they decided to adopt one. They went to an orphanage and they adopted one boy that was 8 years old. This boy was a difficult child and the families that took him before brought him back. This couple took the boy home. They were very wealthy and they had very expensive things at home. One day as the child was playing near two very expensive urns he pushed accidentally the one of them that fell down and broke in to many pieces. The boy got scared and the first thing that came into his mind was that they would send him back to the orphanage. His stepmother heard the noise and went to see what happened. When she saw the broken urn did not say a word. Instead she lifted up the other one and broke it too. Then she took the boy and prepared for him a nice meal. The boy grew old. He studied and became a very well known medical doctor. Years later his stepmother got serious ill and he took her into the hospital where he was working. He could not do anything to help her. He knew that she was going to be with the Lord soon so he asked her if she could remember the incident with the urn. She said �of course. How could I forget it?� Then he told her. �Mom that day I realized that I had a value. I was worthing something for somebody. I realized that you loved me more than those urns. Your love changed me and this is the reason I became a successful man.� Then brother Berry added: � This is the love of God for us. We have the greatest value for Him. This is the reason Jesus Christ was broken for all of us. back to disciple home page back to list of activities |
