Someone was visiting a little village and they asked the question, "Have you had any famous men who were born here?" They said, "No, only babies." Great men are not born, they are made.
Notice Psalm 128. "Blessed is everyone that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands; happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine hous ...
