Recipes for the Family: Choosing A Healthy Alternative
06/26/09
Dr. Phil Wilkes, Joshua 24:14-15
You have a lot of choices in preparing meals. You can go elaborate or simple. Vegetarian or a meat lover’s dream. Low Sodium. Low fat. Low calorie. Or you can load up on the fat and calories. You could even serve all desserts if you want to do that. As the one preparing the meal you can do whatever you want. You could serve your family really tasty, high calorie, high fat, loaded with sugar and carbs kind of meals every day. But it wouldn’t take too long for negative health issues to crop up as well. You are going to give them some healthy alternatives.
When it comes to our family, we want to be sure we are giving them a balanced, healthy diet, at least most of the time. The same should be true for the total development of our family. From emotional well being to physical to spiritual health, we should be seeking to provide nourishment that will help them grow into healthy adults.
Today is Father’s Day. We celebrate our dad’s this morning. I also want to help our dads consider the incredible influence you can have in your family. This influence is especially critical in the spiritual development of your kids. Helping them fall in love with Jesus Christ is both a privilege and a responsibility God has given you.
We discover that Joshua made the decision that regardless of what anyone may do, He was going to lead his family to serve and love God. We will consider how we can lead our families to do the same.
