There is no joy for the father of a fool. Proverbs 17:21

Have you ever been to Juvenile Court?  I hope not.  Usually, you get there by breaking the law.  

Sometimes, boys or girls 'fool' around, not really meaning to do something bad.  Ralph was like that.

'You have acted foolishly.  Your behavior has brought sorrow instead of joy to your parents,' the judge said.  It was true.  Ralph's Dad was very sad in court that day.

We can bring joy to our parents by doing what is right.

Prayer: Lord, please help me to do what is right.  Amen.
