As parents, we’re all concerned about the path our child will follow in life. Will they follow the temptations of wealth and power? Will they succumb to the pitfalls of alcohol?

Or will they follow God?

One couple decided to give their son a short test to see which path he would follow.

They never imagined the choice he’d make …

Would He Choose Money, Booze, Or God?

An older couple had a son, who was still living with them.

The parents were a little worried, as the son was still unable to decide about his future career.

So they decided to do a small test.

They put a note on the front hall table that they had left. Around the note they put a ten-dollar bill, a Bible, and a bottle of whiskey.

Then they hid, pretending they were not at home.

The father told his wife, “If our son takes the money, he will be a businessman, if he takes the Bible, he will be a pastor, but if he takes the bottle of whiskey, I’m afraid our son will be a no-good drunkard.”

So the parents hid in the nearby closet and waited nervously.

Peeping through the keyhole they saw their son arrive. The son read the note that they had left.

Then he took the ten-dollar bill, looked at it against the light, and slid it in his pocket.

After that, he took the Bible, flipped through it, and put it under his arm.

Finally, he grabbed the bottle, opened it, and took an appreciative whiff to be assured of the quality. Then he left for his room, carrying all three items.

The father slapped his forehead and said: “This is worse than I could ever have imagined!”

“What? asked the wife.

“Our son is going to be a politician!”

Take heart parents, there are worse things that your son could be than a politician.

As soon as we figure out what those things are, we’ll be sure to get back to you.
