Father-hood

The last three days have been filled with family. A wedding on Saturday, a baby dedication on Sunday and my baby girl's birthday party on Labor day. Someone said to me, "these are all your fault" as we were leaving the restaurant. I am proud to be the Father, grandfather and great grandfather to my children. This started me to thinking of all the children in this world that are without a father, children whose fathers were killed in battle, children that lost their father to terrorism, divorce or even worse those that were never introduced to their father at all. I would not want to face life without my father. I wish more people would accept my father into their lives.

9-8-2015         Luke 11:11-13

S.       11 if a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?  Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

O.      Examples of asking and what to expect.

A.      I am invited to ask God for my needs……so I will ask!

     P.       Father; I am asking for more of you in my life, more of your love, more of your Grace and                more of your Spirit. Amen.
