Before telling this story we want to say, "Happy Father's Day" to all Fathers. We want to take this time to honor our earthly fathers and in doing so bring honor and glory to our Heavenly Father.
In an earlier century, there lay a
large boulder in the middle of the roadway. Traveler after traveler walked past
the boulder, veering off the side of the road to get around it. All the while,
they were shaking their head and muttering, "Can you believe that? Someone
should get that big thing out of the way. What an inconvenience!"
Finally, a man came along and, seeing
the boulder, took a branch from a tree and pried the boulder enough to get it
rolling and rolled it off to the side of the road. Lying underneath the rock,
he found a small bag with a note. The man picked up the note and read it. It
read as follows:
"Thank you for being a true
servant of the kingdom. Many have passed this way and complained because of the
state of the problem and spoken of what ought to be done. But you have taken
the responsibility upon yourself to serve the kingdom instead. You are the type
of citizen we need more of in this kingdom. Please accept this bag of gold that
traveler after traveler have walked by simply because they didn’t care enough
about the kingdom to serve."
