Precious Children
BY PASTOR HENRY. A. OZIRNEY
Mew Life Baptist Church
Children are so precious.
Each time I put my hand on the
tousled hair of one of my boys I
realize what a tremendous gift
God has given me and what a
responsibility to love them and
bring them up in the nurture and
admonition of the Lord.
Thinking of this reminds me
of the story I recently heard
about Danny. Danny was the
adopted son of a Winnipeg couple. The father was in the construction business, got quite
wealthy and so he gave Danny
everything he ever wanted.
Then hard times came for his
business and money became
scarce. One day Danny, now 15,
came and asked him for $10.
The father replied that he didn't
have any money.
"It's only ten dollars," Danny said. "How's that going to
break you?" With this the
father got hot under the collar
and shouted, "Get it through
your thick skull - I can't afford
it."
"That's when he said he
hated me," the father later
recalled, "and said he was going
to leave home."
"Danny, that's real gratitude!

I gave you a name and
everything else you ever wanted
- you're an ungrateful brat and
if you want to leave - there's the
door."
"I could have ripped out my
tongue right after I said it but it
was too late."
The shocked expression on
Danny's face indicated he was
close to tears and he took off
upstairs.
He didn't come down for supper and the next morning he was
gone with clothes in a suitcase.
When he didn't return that
night, the parents phoned all his
buddies. But no one had seen
him, so they called the police,
who put out an A.P.B.
Forty three days later the
police came to the door and
said, "We've located your
son."
"Where is he?" the overjoyed
parents asked.
"At St. Michael's Hospital in
Toronto. He was shot during a
holdup." Immediately they got
on a plane headed for Toronto
and went to the hospital.
There they found out that
Danny had been in a drugstore
just as it was being held up and
was innocently shot in the abdomen and the head and was
now on the critical list.
They went into his room
where he lay with eyes closed
and breathing very shallowly
with his head in bandages, tubes
in his nose and arms and wire
from his chest.
At that point Danny's father
prayed, "Dear God, it took a
tragedy to show me the things
I've done wrong, but please god
don't punish Danny for my
mistakes. If someone has to die,
Roman
Catholic
Sunday
Masses
then let it be me, not Danny. Let
Danny live God. I love him so
much - please God, please."
With that Danny awoke,
opened his eyes and said, "Dad,
I love you." Then he went back
to sleep. Three hours later Danny died.
Danny's father concluded
with this statement: "But I
believe that God did perform a
miracle. Not the one I prayed
for but when Danny opened his
eyes and looked into mine I felt
we were looking into each
other's souls and when he said,
"Dad, I love you" I knew he'd
forgiven me."
"I hope that someday I might
be able to forgive myself."
Parents, love your children.
See them as being the most
precious gifts to you. Don't wait
until a tragedy before you
realize how precious they are.
