********** Where My Dad Goes I Go ********** Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4 Bill Snell was a very successful businessman, the president of a civic club, and a member of the local school board. He was also a devoted family man, and was especially close to his son, Jerry. Whenever possible, Jerry loved to go with his father wherever he went, and would often go to work with him at his furniture store. He became known as Mr. Jerry by many of the customers. However, one place Bill would never go with his wife and Jerry was to Church and Sunday school claiming that he was too busy. This greatly disappointed Jerry who loved church and Sunday school. One Sunday Jerrys Sunday school teacher asked him, When you get to heaven, what are you going to do first? Without hesitation, Jerry replied, Im not going to heaven! Im going with my dad. We go everywhere together. Soon after this Jerrys Sunday school teacher told Bill what his son had said when he asked him about Heaven. Thats just like him, Bill said, he always wants to be with me. And where are you going Bill, Jerrys teacher gently asked him. Where are you taking Jerry? Bill knew exactly what she meant but felt too ashamed to answer. The question plagued Bill. The thought, Where am I taking my son, kept playing over and over in his mind. Fortunately, soon after, Bill accepted Jesus as his Savior and knew then that he and Jerry would both be going to Heaven and be together forever. Where are you taking your children???
