Thought for August 20

[Thought for the Day]

     Our homes should be a place of refuge for the tempted youth. Many there
are who stand at the parting of the ways. Every influence, every impression,
is determining the choice that shapes their destiny both here and hereafter.
Evil invites them. Its resorts are made bright and attractive. They have a
welcome for every comer. All about us are youth who have no home and many
whose homes have no helpful, uplifting power, and the youth drift into evil.
They are going down to ruin within the very shadow of our own doors.
Adventist Home, p. 449
