Daddies are Priceless!!!

Though the tiredness continues to drag me down, I am again reminded of the strength and joy that comes for the Lord. Today was a beautiful day and Micah was bubbling with energy once again. Kevin spent the morning with him, which Micah greatly enjoyed. I treasure every moment I see the two of them together. The laughter and screams of excitement, thrill, and delight are proof of their joy in spending time together. I am so grateful that Micah has a father who loves the Lord and loves us very deeply. No matter how hard I try, I cannot be a dad to Micah. As I consider the way Kevin relates to Micah and all that they do together, I am continually amazed and blessed by the unique roles of the family that God has designed. We are so different, yet both completely vital to Micah's physical, emotional, and spiritual growth. My heart aches at the thought of how many families today are torn apart and do not live as God has intended. The more I think about this tragedy, the more God places a burden on my heart to minister to families. I long for families to once again function as the unit that they were designed to be. Men have such a crucial role to play as their wives and children look to them for guidance and leadership. Tonight as I close, I want to praise the Lord for the gift of my husband Kevin, lifting him before the Father for strength and courage to pursue his priceless role as husband and daddy!
