I've often felt overwhelmed at God's goodness in giving me such an incredible husband. I don't deserve him, that's all there is to it. He loves the Lord and His word, he's a family man, a godly leader, a hard worker, a man of integrity, wise, kind, patient, and really good looking. God has lavished blessings on me!
And I often tell my kids how fortunate they are to have the dad that they do. They don't realize it yet, but God has been very good to them. VERY good. Just think...
Our son had been abandoned as a newborn. We know almost nothing about his biological parents. And yet God rescued him out of that terrible, parent-less situation and placed him in a family with a dad he can look up to with admiration and love. A dad who loves him dearly, who is involved in his life intimately, and whose strong example will lead him in godliness and integrity. What a dramatic change! What grace!
Our daughter had a birth father who made poor decisions and was never involved in her life. God has replaced him with a father full of wisdom and kindness, selflessness and devotion. She now has a dad that will always protect and provide for her. He knows her. He loves her. He tickles her and cuddles with her to her heart's delight. She has a healthy view of men because she has a strong, loving dad that she trusts and looks up to. What a dramatic change! What grace!
So Happy Father's Day, my love. You can be sure God has made your family happy by giving us the very good gift of YOU!
Great post!
