a story of a father and son

there was a man and his wife, one day they had a child.

they named him worthwhile.

when worthwhile was old enough,(8 to be precise.)

his father started to get him to clean his room.

the boy responded. "father, why do I have to work."

the father sighed and said. "because I love you my son"

then the son said. "but if you loved me you'd clean it for me"

then the father said, "son I'll love you no matter what you do"

then worthwhile cleaned his room.

then three weeks later the son got in some trouble with the princable.

when worthwhile got home the father said.

"your grounded for a week" the son said, "why, it wasn't my fault it wa....."

"no excuses go to your room. I'm taking your toys out of there"

the son responded "but why father"

then the father said. "because I love you my son"

then the boy resounded "but if you loved me you'd let me play with my toys while I'm grounded"

then the father said. "son, I'll love you no matter what you do"

then worthwhile went to his room and put all his toys in a box for a week and was quite for the whole time.

 then one day, when worthwhile was 16, his father told him it was time to get a job.

worthwhile said, "but father, why do I have to work, why do I have to work, WHY DO I HAVE TO WORK"

the father responded, " because I love you my son, BECAUSE I LOVE YOU MY SON"

 worth while didn't like his father yelling at him and said. "wow, you don't have to yell"

the father said in return " I only yelled because you yelled my son. not only that but I want the whole world to know my love for you"

the son then cried in his fathers arms. and said. "thank you father for caring for me so much. I will get a job."

when the father was 70 years old and in his death bed, the father called on worthwhile.

and said. "son, I want you to find a girl. a special girl and get married, have children, and care for them

the way I cared for you. can you do that for me."

the boy responded with. "yes I will, because I love you my father"

this is the kind of love that god has for all his children. and if you read all this to this point. I want you to know.

JESUS LOVES YOU
