PUT THE RIGHT FINGER FORWARD
Ralph Waldo Emerson and his son once spent a half hour trying to force a calf into the barn so they could close it for the night. They pushed and struggled with that calf, all to no avail. When they finally gave up, an amused farmhand walked over, put his finger in a bucket of milk, and placed it in the calf’s mouth. The calf, lured by this maternal imitation, peacefully followed the man into the barn. Some of the most effective evangelism comes from a life that is so loving and attractive that it draws other people to follow after it. We’re called to share our faith with others both verbally and by being Christ-like enough to make the Christian walk inviting to others. From Clergy Journal
