Fatherhood

This video came out about a week before our second child was born. It moves me every time. Our little boy has now been with us seven days and as I consider the past week, I don’t know that the Lord could make His love and intent for us to have joy more obvious than allowing us to experience parenthood. Words cannot describe the feelings I had on the day he was born, except to say how aware I was that there was a Father in Heaven who loved me, who loved my wife, who loved our two beautiful children and that He was sharing in the joy we were experiencing that day.

In the video the father makes a comment on how he wishes he could trust his Father better like his children trust him so much. Having the special moments, emotions and impressions from this past week so fresh on my mind, thats what I find myself wishing for.

Looking in the mirror I see a lot of opportunities for growth, a lot of weakness and shortcomings. But like my newborn son, I realize I am at the beginning of a journey. The depth and breadth of eternity is out there ahead, and so I trust that my Father will be there, helping me with each new milestone, each new step, just like I look on with joy to each new day with my wonderful family.
