The Cobbler and his Family
A
parable
A cobbler and his
wife
were married and had two sons and a daughter. The man worked very hard and very long hours providing for his family. Every year the man would make a
special pair of shoes
for each member of his family. The shoes were the product of a whole year of
craft
ing. He would present the shoes to his family members on
Christmas
day.
One year he presented his shoes to his children.
"Thank you father for these shoes. They fit my feet perfectly and I will
cherish
them all year long."
His first son responded
.
"Thank you father for these shoes. They will be good for playing
baseball
, let us go and play when the weather warms up."
The second son responded
.
"Thank you daddy for these shoes. Let us have a party where we can dress up and we can play together and have fun." His
youngest daughter responded
.
"Thank you my love for these shoes.
Please stop making them
." His wife responded.
The man responded in dismay
.
"I spend
each year
making
these shoes
for you, and you ask me to stop making them!" he bellowed.
His wife and children all said in chorus. "We love that you make these shoes,
but
would rather
have you
spend time with us, than all the shoes in the world."
"But all
I know
how to do is make shoes."
He said
.
"Come" they said as they grabbed the man's hand, "
and we will show you
how to
be more
than a
cobbler
."
