Notes From Our Pastor
There was a little boy who saw the sun shining through the old roof on the porch where his mother was standing. He asked his mother, “What’s the light spot on the floor?” His mother knew that it was the sunlight, but decided to relate that sunny spot to God. “That,” she answered, “is God smiling down on us.” The little boy walked over to where the light was coming in and stood there. His mother asked, “What are you doing?’ He said, “I am standing in God’s smile.” He grew up, went into business, and was very successful but drifted away from God. (more)

Pastor's Points (Continued)
(Continued from top)

After his mother died, he had the task of selling the old house and dealing with all his mother’s possessions. One day, he was looking around in the attic when he noticed a pair of children’s shoes. He picked them up and discovered a folded piece of paper inside one of them. When he unfolded the paper, he saw words written in his mother’s hand. “These are the shoes my little boy wore the day he stood in God’s smile.”
That is what I feel today. I feel like I am standing in God’s smile. There is no peace filled and sweeter spot than to be in that place where you know God wants you to be. God has smiled on me by giving me the privilege of being a part of the Frazer family. The people of Frazer did for me 34 years ago what it has done for thousands of people through the years: pointed me to a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ, called forth my gifts to serve Christ, and blessed me with love and grace. Today is like coming home. I am truly standing in God’s smile.
I look forward to serving with you in the ministry of Jesus Christ. May we never forget the words of Ephesians 3:20-21, “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen.”
