Just preaching, or telling the truth? y little girl Kailey has always been picky about Mien In her opinion they should either serve milk, have a jukebox or sport some sort of live fish. The Chinese buffet had done well by adding the new shark tank, but they were never quite able to wrench the ‘All-time Favorite Daddy-Daughter Eatery’ title from the Waffle House. I recall one of our ‘ visits in particular several years back. I held Kailey’s little hand tenderly as we parted the low cloud of cigarette smoke to our usual booth, the sizzle of bacon and . the clanging of the spatula nearly drowning out the “Waffle House Boogie” seeping from the crusty ceiling speakers. A long line of bedraggled customers eyeballed us suspiciously from the counter. We must have stood out, obviously being the only ones there that had made it home from the previous night. We ordered and I set about to finish telling Kailey of Jesus’ command to spread the Gospel. However, I couldn’t seem to get a word in edgewise. “Daddy, daddy, can I have a quarter?” She kept begging. I was really starting to get frustrated with that little 5 year old! Does she not care about the souls of man? Am I the only one? Then she gave me quite a start. Through her thin white milk mustache she popped up and said, “Go tell em’ bout Jesus daddy.” She was pointing at a table full of big rough looking bikers. After studying the situation I decided it was best to give Kailey that quarter. “Here sweetheart,” I smiled, “Why don’t you run and play the “Waffle House Shuffle” on the jukebox?” I must admit, while she was gone I did a little BUT ANYWAY Guy E. Sheffield. ’ Waffle House shuffle of my own. “Surely she will forget rn about those bikers by the time she gets back,” I prayed; but’ ~ she didn’t. In fact, she came back with the quarter, “Here daddy, give em’ dis monies when you tell em’ bout Jesus.” -- i Five year olds sure got a way of messing up a good sermon with their simplistic views of reality. They’re just not mature enough to understand our reasoning when we“ say, “Do as I say, not as I do.” The little boogers remember _ everything and they’re bad about bringing it up on you later. I reckon my two kids hold me more accountable to my - beliefs nowadays than anybody. Jesus loves simple childlike faith. He made that clear i in Mark 10:15. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not -,-. receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not re 2% enter therein. Wow! That’s sobering; but I guess when yours understand that the souls of millions of people hang in the’:: balance you could better understand that God’s not interested: in building a Church full of armchair quarterbacks. He’s_ -- looking for a generation of warriors who will love Him enough to obey Him. For the eyes of the LORD run to and ;-" fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.2— -_- Chronicles 16:9. a But anyway, I guess as we get older we just naturally... acquire a bag full of excuses. I’ve got some that cover just about every subject. Kailey ended up dragging a few old ©: standards out of me that day. “I just don’t feel led right now,” I whined. Then, to my shame, I even tried to turn it around, ; 4 a ‘ 4 ’ 4 a on her, “You go,” I said, “It’s your idea.” She just looked at, =) me with those big blue eyes, “Nooo.. . You tell em’ daddy.” So I did something I didn’t know I had in me. I went. I went . afraid. I don’t remember exactly what I said, but I told them: Se about Jesus. You know what? Those big bikers didn’t kill me or anything. I may never know if my visit mattered to those - bikers that day, that’s between them and God; but I pee it mattered to Kailey. I know it mattered to Jesus. Guy E. Sheffield, of Hernando, Miss. is the president of ’ the nonprofit ministry SoulFood. Haven Hospice is north Florida’s expert in end-of-life and palliative care.
