'These words of mine'

 '...and great was the fall thereof'

 

'...great was the fall thereof'

This is one page from an exercise book in which K proved herself to be an adept and diligent student of her Faith, at only five years of age (1985-6)

Our theme of words continues with K's illustrations of a story Our Lord told in his Sermon on the Mount:

[24] Every one that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock, [25]And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock.[26] And every one that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand, [27] And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof. [Matthew 7]

How tragic for all concerned that so many of us have followed the example of the foolish man in Verse 26.  'Great was the fall thereof'. Indeed.
