A captain’s little son had tried all day to make a boat, but at
night he had only succeeded in misshaping the wood. His father
saw the tears on the sleeping lad’s face, and took up the wood
and with the deft skill of experience soon changed the shapeless
block into a beautiful little boat. Then, leaving it on the
table by his son’s bed, he lay down to sleep. When morning
dawned and the boy saw the boat, so perfect in its shape and
style, he marveled how his own failure had been turned into
success. Will not God take our endeavors, poor and faulty tho
they be, and change them into triumphs? Let us do our best and
leave our work at nightfall, awaiting His hand to complete it.
