Father

"Father - to God himself we cannot give a holier name." ... William Wordsworth


This is a such great way to think about fathers, it really struck me when I saw it. 


God is the example and we are the ones that learn every day, so often from our children but from Him too. We are blessed with the miracle of life, the birth of our children, and learn to carefully nurture those lives, much as He does. We are always there for our children, much as He is. We love our children unconditionally, through good times and bad, much as He does. We are fathers in training and model Him in what we do, say and show.


Being a father is a gift I would not trade for anything ... my children and my wife make my life matter, more than anything else ever could. I pray that all fathers appreciate their calling, because there is nothing holier. And I thank my children for the privilege of leading them ...
