When parents understand the source of joy, when they decide to let Christ rule in their home, they have chosen the way of joy that will never disappoint them.<\/p>\n

Billy Graham\u2019s parents were both committed Christians. Although he was a businessman, his father had at one time felt a desire to preach. The way never seemed opened for him. After Billy entered the ministry, the father said, \u201cI prayed for years for a way to be opened. But never once was there the slightest encouragement from God. My heart burned and I wondered why God did not answer my prayer. Now I feel I have the answer. I believe that my part was to raise a son to be a preacher.\u201d<\/p>\n

Imagine the joy that thought brought to him and to his wife.<\/p>\n
