Gathering Sticks

Narrator: Chris Genthree
HERE are some little folks who have been very busy. It must have taken them a long time to chop these sticks in just the right lengths, and then to bundle them up so neatly. They seem happy about their work though, and feel they have done their duty well. They are not thinking how soon these sticks will come to an end; they will keep the fire but a short time and will all be burned to ashes. The children will then have the same task to perform again.
How good to show a cheerful spirit in doing our work, as these little children do. Saved boys and girls work cheerfully, so as to please the Lord, as well as to please their parents.
