Which weighs more, a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks? The answer to this tricky question lies in recognizing the importance of balance - one ton is one ton, no matter what! We also need to recognize the importance of balance in raising our children. To produce well-balanced individuals, emphasis should be placed on all aspects of our children's personalities - the spiritual, physical, social, mental and emotional. A few years ago my wife and I visited a diamond factory in Amsterdam, Holland. Our guide told us a diamond is almost universally admired for its beauty and value. But a skilled craftsman must first cut and polish it with the proper tools to produce that sparkling gem. The more facets a diamond has, the more it sparkles and the higher its value. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
