2 Thess. 3 [The Message]

Some people are more diligent than others by nature, but the home is where a strong work ethic is cultivated, regardless of the child’s inclination.

My wife was born in a farming family. Her dad was a hard worker. He worked an 8 hour day for the local government, then came home and farmed another 8 hours. His children were likewise held to a high work standard. Besides being a hard worker, he was very particular. He wanted it done well and done right. Guess what!?! That’s the way Patty and her siblings are too.

If you cultivate a strong work ethic in your children, you are giving them a lifelong gift of success and satisfaction.
