Children’s Time: “How to Make Good Choices” by Pastor John
Special Music Kaulana Kawaihae John Song
Sung by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole
This is an old Hawaiian song called “Restful Kawaihae” that in the whispering sea tells of old Hawaii where time slows to eternity.
Message “How to Make the Right Decision Every Time” Rev. John Song
As we go through life we constantly make decisions, big and small. Some decisions, we are glad we made those choices. And some, we wish we could do them over. How can we make the right decision every time without regret? This message will be consequential for we only go around once.
The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost, 1915
[“The Road Not Taken” is a narrative poem by Robert Frost, first published in the August 1915 issue of the Atlantic Monthly, and later published as the first poem in the 1916 poetry collection.]
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
