A couple years ago I wrote a Father's Day post to honor my two dads, ironically both named Chuck, but this year I have chosen to honor the newest Dad in our family, son, Joshua.
Josh became a father July 16, 2009, almost a year ago and over this year Jim and I have witnessed his tranformation from dog Daddy to Frazier's Daddy and we can't be prouder of him. Being protective, tender, and sometimes firm with his sweet little Frazier lets us know he has slipped effortlessley into this new role. Are we shocked? Not at all. From a very early age Josh always demonstrated the ability to encourage others and to show understanding, patience, and compassion. These qualities are especially needed to be a great father.
Now before you think I am deluded and believe our son, Josh, is perfect.... and never has or never will stumble....well, we know this is not so. All of us humans have feet of clay but, I pray he will always meet his challenges and choices with grace and wisdom and will turn, as he has done many times in his life, to the Lord for direction and forgiveness. The Lord's mercy is available and great is His faithfulness and I trust as Josh looks to his heavenly Father for guidance, He will be faithful to provide Frazier with the best Daddy he could have, Daddy Josh.
Happy Father's Day! We love you, Mom and Dad
