MEMORIES OF THE CALL
Took this photo yesterday of the place where I first was confronted with the call of God on my life.
In the foreground is the church we attended (1st Assembly of God, Rancho Cucamonga, Ca,). At the right is a sycamore tree. Following one Sunday morning service, my pastor's wife (Dotty Fale) walked up to me and said these very words: " Marcel Joseph if you don't go into the ministry, it will be a sin of omission."
The significance of the tree is that, I laughed so hard that I had to lean on it to remain upright. Two years later however, I found myself yielding to the call that I didn't, but Mrs. Fale did, recognize.
I am ever thankful for that day. Many times others see in us what we don't see in ourselves. Stay open to the Lord speaking to us through others
