The Spiritual Impression Of Parents
Story★★★★In the Life of Principal Rainy there is a letter in which one of the daughters says that she could never think of her father without thinking of God. What a tribute! And Dr. W. R. Maltby has told of the spiritual impression his mother made upon him when he was a very young boy. He was in church with her, not very attentive, perhaps, but suddenly he caught sight of the look on his mother’s face. Her eyes were looking into the kingdom of heaven. He knew then that God was real and that heaven was nigh.
The point
A young boy witnessing his mother's reverent gaze toward heaven in church taught him the reality of God; a parent's visible faith is a powerful teacher to children.
