My husband is great at many, many things. He is a wonderful leader and full of conviction. He is a man of integrity and honesty. He is thoughtful, kind, and a good listener. But this post is not about those things. This post is about my husband and his role as a father!
Mike is truly a wonderful father and a delight to his children. They absolutely adore him. Nearly every evening Mike tries to spend time with the children; sometimes they play together, sometimes work together, sometimes read together. The kids love his company. He loves to give hugs and likes to cuddle the kids. He spends the evening listening to their stories and playing with them (being that I am usually very tired by then!) He challenges them and encourages them. He disciplines them and loves them. And most importantly he teaches them both verbally and by example about Jesus. He reads the Bible with them during our family worship time, he prays with them and talks always about our Lord. His prayer has always been that our children would grow to know and love Jesus and to be His servants.
Thank you, Mike, for loving our children sacrificially, for doing the hard things, and for following the Lord with all of your heart!!! I love you!
