A RICH FATHER

Baron Rothschild, a member of the world-famous family of financiers, stepped from a carriage one evening and gave the driver what he felt was an adequate tip.  

Looking at the tip disdainfully, the driver said, “Your lordship’s son always gives me a good deal more than this.”

“I dare say he does,” Baron Rothschild snapped. “But then, you see, he has a rich father; I haven’t.”

The Baron made an excellent point. When you have a father with plentiful resources to depend on, you don’t have to worry about giving too much!

My Father is rich in houses and lands,
He holdeth the wealth of the world in his hands!
Of rubies and diamonds, of silver and gold,
His coffers are full, he has riches untold.

I'm the child of a King, the child of a King,
With Jesus, my Saviour, I'm the child of a King.

Psalms 50:10,12  - For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
