Gentlemen,
If you have time this busy Christmas season read the on line Sporting Classic story The Christmas Rifle. A great story of a boy growing up with a fantastic Father who teaches him one of the greatest lessons of his life.
Merry Christmas everybody!

In the comments at the bottom of the page someone has identified the origin of the story and where a copy of the book can be found. |

| Finally got time to sit down a read this. What a great story. It is truly better to give than receive. |

hayseed,
What you read is a story not only about giving rather than receiving. It's a story about Christian values and great parenting. This boy was raised in a true Christian family, his father was teaching him a lesson in how he should live his life, with those correct values. Fortunately for me I was raised with a very similar type father and grandfather. The story hit home in many ways for me, I hope I have become the man my father raised me to be.
I believe the story is well worth reading and thinking about.

Absolutely Dave. James 1:27 charges us to care for orphans and widows in distress.
A fine example of the real meaning of Christmas. |
