I will soon have a son to spoil and it makes me think about the way I will teach, interact with, and love my son. It still has not quite sunk in that I will be a Father. I am sure the day will come when my lovely bride and I are in the delivery room, and burgeoning forth into this world will be a new love of my life. I bet you that I will understand so many more facets of God and the loving Father that He is to me.
When He was close by but out of sight when I was learning things on my own. When I was in over my head and He lovingly scooped me out of my mess. When I went of the straight path and He gently disciplined me back to it.
I think of how my son will be an heir to everything that I have and that my lineage will go onto another generation. I am dumbfounded that God works the same way and He has grafted me into His family and I am carrying on His lineage.
Recollecting on days gone past, I am now more aware of the wonderful gifts He has given and the blessings that He has bestowed upon me. I know that my God loves to spoil His kids and that His favor surrounds me like a shield. That wherever I go, I walk upright and blessed and my family, rightly so, walks the same. There is something about a hope hereafter that gives one a peace of mind that surpasses human understanding and I am grasping that more and more each day.
When my son is in my arms for the first time; in that hospital room, with my beautiful wife in the bed beside, I know it will overwhelm my whole being and it will hit me like a ton of bricks......
The love of a Father for a Son. A natural affection that cannot be described unless you have lived it. My son is not here yet
