June 2017

In June we celebrate our beloved Fathers, “Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.” James 1:12 NIV
Happy Father’s day in honor of our Fathers who continue to lead with dignity and grace-May we always remember the sacrifice, and service.

Whenever we faced setbacks and challenges as children,  our Father  gave us this priceless  advice “stay positive.”  Fathers encourage their children to not lose hope when facing adversity and trials.  This teaching instilled strong character, morals and honorable ethical behavior.  We will face obstacles in life, however true success is born out of how we overcome our obstacles.  Maintaining a positive attitude keeps you focused on the good things going on in and around your life and improves your overall health.  We can always find something negative to complain about, but learning to stay positive is an art which requires listening to the Father’s voice and deeply knowing who you are and where you are going in life.  Slow down, take a moment to reflect on where you have been and where you are now going- STAY AWAKE, STAY POSITIVE, STAY FOCUSED!
Celebrate our Fathers, our Heroes,

Prayer Thread:  We give thanks for our Fathers  who taught us the virtues of hard work and prayer.  Thank you God for the memory of the elders and ancestors who are now called to rest but who’s voice we still recall because of the legacy they left behind in the life they lived. May we always remember their hard labor,  sacrifice and the honorable life they committed to living,  AMEN!
