A Blast from the Past September 17, 2014

1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.  Ephesians 5:1 ESV

When I read today's verse, an anti-smoking PSA from 1967 came to mind.  Thanks to Youtube, I was able to find it.  

In the video, a young boy watches and imitates his father- painting the house, riding in the car, etc.  (At the end we see the father modeling negative behavior, luckily not a worry if we imitate our heavenly father.)

Just like the little boy mimics his earthly father, Paul encourages us to be imitators of our heavenly father.  The boy is able to imitate his father because he is spending time with him.  On a ladder, in the car, taking a walk, and in the park. 

If we don't spend time with our heavenly father, how can we hope to imitate him?
