Daily Walking, Working, and Winning by God's Word by Rev. Dr. Alvin C. Hathaway Sr.

October 3rd is the 87th birthday of Mr. Charles Hathaway, my father. He has become the oldest living male in our family. God has blessed him with longevity and wisdom. In my life I cannot remember a Sunday when he didn't attend church. He attends Pennsylvania Avenue AME Zion Church for their 8:00 a.m. service and them comes to Union Baptist Church for our 11:00 a.m. service. It is a joy to have his spirit as a part of our fellowship. He is a good father, uncle, grandfather, and friend. He provided day care to both of my children and had a profound influence on them. He never drove and because he walked and used public transportation; he is still mobile today. His walking has kept him in shape and his discipline eating habits has strengthen him. His faith in God has been a pillar of strength for all of our family. I proud to say he is my father and the man I seek to emulate.
