How can eternity influence daily tasks?

" When I used to sit down for devotions with our four boys at home my mind wasn't simply, "Ok, I have a duty as a dad: I'm supposed to do devotions at night." My mind was, "What will they become?"

We did devotions daily.

The goal isn't just to fulfill some little task that dads are supposed to do. Rather, you're building men who hopefully someday will have absorbed so much of God and so much of the Bible that it's going to shape their whole world.

And they might wind up going to Pakistan to help build shelters for earthquake victims."
