Father's Day Ride

First and foremost, Happy Father's Day to all Dad's. To the great ones. To the ones who know and understand their is still time to become great. You are needed. You are necessary. You are valued. You are loved.

And if no one is telling you that or sharing such a sentiment, know that your Heavenly Father loves you, values you and cares for you... such that He sacrificed His Son to take your place for consequence of sin. Talk about what doing what is necessary even at an uncomfortable cost.

While hardly a comparison, an unexpected car repair is never fun.Wednesday night, as my daughter's and I pulled into church, I left the wheels cranked. Upon leaving service, I noticed... yep, don't think we can put getting tires of any longer kiddos. So, yesterday morning... new treads! And thank God for the blessing. They didn't cost nearly what the should have; God hooked a brother up!

What a difference! What was I thinking putting that off for so long? Well, besides not wanting to ruin the budget?

Actor Ron Silverman, played political consultant Bruno Gionelli, on The West Wing. After helping the administration win re-election, senior staff offers their thanks. At one point, he simply replies, "It helps when you cook with the right food."

On this #effectiveSunday, how important is it that we cook with the right food? So pray this Father's Day, that we do well to work with the right tools, resources and people. May we effectively communicate the truth to those around us and care for those in need and in difficult places. Pray for breakthrough, in families and homes that need to know the power of the Holy Spirit and the love of God at work in their lives. May we be ever aware, of the changes that need to be made and how and where to go about making them; that God would guide or steps and direct us in the way we should go.

As we lead our churches.
As we lead our homes.
As we impact our children
As we change our communities.
For the glory of God
For the cause of Jesus Christ.
