What kind of question is that? Well as we reflect on Father's Day let's just remember to be a Father means someone is following in your footsteps. Who are you living for? The answer is so important because of those little footprints within yours. Do they see you or the One you follow? Do they see you fall down and then get back up? What do they know of your inner strength? Have they ever heard you pray? Would they believe that God is #1 in your life? I have heard it said that children believe love = time and yet I believe that may be partly true I must confess that love should at least point them towards their own personal relationship with God one day. God even gave us a good scripture to tell of the importance we should take for the little footprints within yours. So if you want to know God's perspective, stop and read Deut. 11:13, then skip to verses 18-20.
Oh, By the way--HAPPY FATHERS DAY to those who are . . .
Walk the Walk for it matters who you are living for!

This side of heaven
God has given Bobby and myself a new ministry. It happened one day while I was surfing the internet for different gospel tracks. I came accross an address IBS.com and cliked on to it. Then I was looking at all the different ways they had to reach out to the lost. WOW! I came to a site that had 300 doorhangers in a box each with a gospel of John, an evangelistic track and a welcome sign. I called Bobby in to see it and his Spirit within jumped in a huge way! He immediately saw a vision of a map of FC and then saw a marked path just as you might find at the back of your Bible if you looked at a trail that Paul had traveled.
So we ordered our 1st 300 and began to bag all the 300 doorhangers each week; Then take them out, hanging them on the doors, praying ahead of time for the folks who might read their contents. We questioned what hanging doorhangers might do, but thanking God for allowing us the opportunity to serve Him. Afterall it is not what we do but what God can do with our little. So we hung those 1st 100 on that first Sunday. During the next week, Bobby spoke with a young lady who had rec'd one on her door. She was from CA and had never been in Church or heard that God loved her. She read everything in the bag and told Bobby that she was going to get a Bible and begin to read it. She thought everything in the bag spoke to her in a very special way So Bobby took a Bible to her. We don't know what is going on within the 600 houses we've already hung door hangers on, but God does.
This is what we wrote on a 4 X 6 card that we tape to the outside of the doorhangers. We believe God gave of each word:
(We put a sm picture of Jesus knocking at the door in the top left corner). These are the words written:
"We don't know you or what is going on in your life, but we know who holds the answers and He cares for you.
We believe we are hanging this on your door out of obedient hearts to God.
Won't you begin to read the contents of this bag allowing God to speak to you heart.
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever (that's you and anyone) believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
God is no respector of persons, He loves us one and all.
We have prayed for you.

(Look at the picter, Jesus is knocking, who will let Him in?)
So just allow God to work through you to touch others. After all He has given us all we need to do what He desires for us to do. Jesus said "Follow Me and I will make you Fishers of Men." Matthew 4:19
