When Children Owe Their Parents
I flew to Washington, D.C., a couple of weeks ago, and sitting beside me was a woman probably about 60 years of age. She saw me with my legal pad working on this sermon. She saw at the top the subject "What Children Owe Their Parents." She asked me what I did, and I told her I was a pastor.
She said, "I can't help but say that's a very interesting subject."
I said, "We're having a good time. I'm just sharing with my people concerning the family. Tell me, do you have children?"
"Oh, I have grandchildren," she said.
"When do children feel that they owe something to their parents?" I asked.
She smiled and said, "When they have their own children."
