Reflections by Alta Nye Oxendine
FA THER 'S DA Y MESS A GE
Here arc some nuggets from Pastor Harold Hunt's Father's Day
message at Branch Street UMC:
Make sure God is the utmost in making decisions for your family.
Make sure there's no parasites devouring our children.
"Sometimes we get in front of God" with our "snap financial decisions"
and "self-willed ambitions."
Ask: "Where am I living?" A little boy said, "Daddy, pick out a good
trail.. because Fin right behind you!"
Your sons and daughters arc mocking every action you do.
Ask: "What am I leaving?"
Arc you two-faced? Do you put on a Sunday face to go to church?
Fathers need to pattern their lives after a Christ-like life.
