My son Ammon helps with the cooking<\/p><\/div>\n

Humility<\/h4>\n

\u201cFather, where shall I work today?\u201d
\nAnd my love flowed warm and free.
\nThen He pointed out a tiny spot
\nAnd said, \u201cTend that for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

I answered quickly, \u201cOh no, not that!
\nWhy, no one would ever see,
\nNo matter how well my work was done.
\nNot that little place for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the word He spoke, it was not stern;
\nHe answered me tenderly;
\n\u201cAh, little one, search that heart of thine;
\nArt thou working for them or for me?<\/p>\n

Nazareth was a little place, and so was Galilee.\u201d<\/p>\n
