One of the greatest gift you can give your children

is a happy childhood!

YOUR LIFE is Jesus to someone,

though tattered and torn it may be.

Though often times weak and unstable,

you're all of God someone will see.

YOUR TONGUE is Jesus to someone.

That idle, insensitive word

reflects to at least one searching heart

an idle, insensitive Lord.

YOUR GOALS are Jesus to someone.

What you put first, they believe,

are the goals of God for the Christian.

Your life is all they receive.

YOUR FAITHFULNESS that's Jesus to someone.

Their judgment of how God is true,

rests unquestionably in the faithfulness

they see day by day in you.

YOUR LOVE is Jesus to someone -

that someone who is seeking to know

that Jesus will follow, guide and befriend

wherever in life they might go.

SO BEWARE lest others blaspheme God

by what you say or do,

for the only Jesus that someone knows

is the Jesus they see in you.
