In case any of you were concerned – don’t worry – I was shown just as much love on Father’s day as was shown on la Fete des Meres.

The kids couldn’t even wait until after breakfast – not to mention any thought of waiting until we got home from church – to give me what they had made. I was instructed to sit on the couch – and open presents. The whole thing is quite touching. Yes -they made things that they were given time and instructions to make in school – but the excitement, the anticipation that they show – they so desperately want to show me what they’ve made.
They also all insisted on making breakfast.
I was reminded the other day of how as a Christian perhaps the most fundamental thing I have to do as a Dad, is to be a bearer of the fatherly love that God has for all his children. It’s scary and encouraging at the same time – but it also helps me to understand how natural an outpouring of love – like what my kids show me, really should be for all of us.
