I love this video. I watched it before I was a father and it was good. I watched it again the other day and it was like I had never seen it before. Rob says that the experience of the storm for him was an event he would cherish and never forget with Trace. I pray God gives me that perspective on my experience as a father with George. I could see myself walking through the woods and getting rained on think about how stupid I might be for taking the walk in the first place. I see myself think how bad of a father I am because my son might get sick. But to cherish a moment like this as a moment where my son and I are so close, a moment where I would do anything to get him to safety, a moment where I can whisper in his ear "It's gonna be alright, I love you, we're going to make it son"... That gives me the perspective of God's unfailing love for us.
This is our family blog. We want to share with you all God teaches us about parenting by being the "Father2HisChild". We pray that as God leads us in parenting our family, He will also lead us by being the Parent we so desperately need in our family of faith. Enjoy and feel free to comment with your stories, encouragements, and insights into being the Called of God in parenting.
