Dear KKIM/KARS Family,
May the Strength, Peace and Wisdom of our Lord be with you and yours forever and ever!
I look forward to seeing many of you this Sunday, Fathers Day, at Valley View Christian Church in Edgewood!
The best advice I can give Dad’s is get into God’s word and live by it……….Lead by a Godly example…….It’s never too late……..
Fathers, don’t exasperate your children by coming down hard on them. Take them by the hand and lead them in the way of the Master,
Eph 6:4 The Message
Also my Dear Friends this from Proverbs 4:4-5
He also taught me, and said to me:
“Let your heart retain my words;
Keep my commands, and live.
Get wisdom! Get understanding!
Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth.
AMEN!
Today Dad’s read all of Proverbs 4: 1-17……….it may do us all well, to read all of that scripture!
Here is a writing from the Late, Great Paul Harvey on Fathers……..
A Father is a creature that is forced to endure childbirth without an anesthetic. A Father growls when he feels good and laughs when scared half to death.
A father never feels worthy of the worship in a child’s eyes. he’s never quite the hero his daughter thinks; never quite the man his son believes him to be, and this worries him—–sometimes. So he works too hard to try to smooth the rough places in the road for those of his own who will follow him.
A Father gets very angry when the school grades aren’t as good as he thinks they should be. So he scolds his son—–though he knows it’s the teacher’s fault. A Father gives his daughter away to another man who is not nearly good enough—-so he can have grandchildren who are smarter than anybody’s. A Father makes bets with insurance companies about who will live the longest. One day, he loses—–and the bet is paid off to those he leaves behind.

And then?
Well, from then on it’s pretty simple. Water weed, tend with care, and patiently watch the garden grow. Someday you’ll look back and realize it was worth all the years of all the work and effort and prayer. Like a lovely garden, your family will be a thing of grateful pride, of seasonal beauty, daily sustenance.
Let us Prayer…………
Lord today we pray for all the Fathers out there…we pray that they will look to YOU, our ALMIGHTY FATHER as they go about their GODLY duties here on earth. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!
See ya at Valley View Christian Church in Edgewood on Sunday for their HUGE car Show. Go to www.valleyviewnow.com for more details! Look for the KKIM Van!
One final message to all the Dad’s out there:
Many men do not admit their fears…….it turns into anger, hiding out, putting the head in the sand, etc……..
Ask God to help you let go of your day-to-day fears and worries, express your desire to trust him for the strength and power to move ahead when life threatens to pull you down!
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
