You cannot avoid it.
It will be.
1. To all a place of recognition.
The child you led to Christ—the child you led astray. The child you trained for heaven—the child you trained for hell. All will be there.
2. To many a place of weeping. Matt. xxv. 30. Luke, vi. 25.
3. To many a place of rejoicing. Matt. xxv. 34.
Believing mother! Your night of weeping will then be over, your morning of joy will dawn, of which the sun will never set! Ps. xxx. 5.
Which will it be to you—a meeting-place of joy or sorrow?
May you and your children be so united in Christ here, that you may both part and meet in peace!
