Wednesdays with Words: Substance

We cannot make a child ‘good’; but, in this way, we can lay paths for the good life in the very substance of his brain. We cannot make him hear the voice of God; but, again, we can make paths where the Lord God may walk in the cool of the evening. We cannot make a child clever, but we can see that his brain is nourished with pure blood, his mind with fruitful ideas.

It’s our job to be faithful; to not grow weary of doing good.
