Religion

By JAMES L. SNYDER

After about a million days of toil, sweat and aggravation, the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I decided to take a few days off and relax.
I am not a real expert when it comes to relaxing. Of course, I have advised many people to chill out, relax a little bit and not get so excited about things. What doctor do you know who takes his own medicine? Or, what pastor do you know that listens to his own sermon?

As I was preparing to leave my office at the close of a busy day, my phone rang. A gentleman asked if he could speak with me about the recent loss of his dear wife.

The voice of fathers doth not wisdom cry – and understanding put forth her voice.
Sunday is Father’s Day, and many families wiill celebrate.
Some churches will have a special sermon just for fathers.
There is so much to be said about a father. He is to see that his children get spiritual encouragement, maybe even reassurance.
The Bible talks about our being workers together with God – that goes for raising children too.
What a privilege it is for us to work with him and with children He has entrusted in our care.

“You’re a good man, Bert.”
I saw the look of surprise in Bert’s eyes because after the morning we just had, he didn’t expect to hear those words – at least not until he spent more time in the doghouse.
However, even though I wasn’t feeling a lot of love and admiration for my husband at that moment, I knew he loved me, and I didn’t want my unforgiving attitude to destroy our relationship.
It was incredible how quickly our day improved once I changed my attitude.
