Psalm 127:3-5
Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one's youth.
Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
Greetings Bible Enthusiast!
I have heard quoted many times, that children learn what they live. Fathers, your example to your children is so important! Clarence Budington Kelland said, "My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
God Bless You!

--FEATURED FUNNY:
I work for a small software company with approximately fifty employees. My Boss was the company's third employee. At a meeting with a potential client, our team introduced ourselves one by one. When it was my Boss' turn, he said, "I've been with the company for it's entire 10 year history. I started as a 'lowly programmer' and now I am a senior manager."
When it was my turn, I rose and said, "I'm new with the company. I'm still a lowly programmer."

--ANSWER TO TRIVIA QUESTION:
Q. Who advised King Ahasuerus re: the decree that Vashti shall come no more before King Ahasuerus; and that the king give her royal position to another who is better than she?
A. Memucan
Esther 1:16-19
And Memucan answered before the king and the princes: "Queen Vashti has not only wronged the king, but also all the princes, and all the people who are in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus. . . . let a royal decree go out from him, and let it be recorded in the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it will not be altered, that Vashti shall come no more before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal position to another who is better than she.
