Wondering about my Wanderings

Father's day

I had some quality time with my daughter this evening. I thought the least I can do is spend some time with her before she goes back to school in August. One thing lead to another and she asked me the difference between a father's perception in how children were born. I felt like I was filled with the Holy Spirit.
There is the experience of joy that comes in seeing your child born into the world. I am glad to be alive and be a part of the moment. I celebrate in not having to go through a child birth experience to see what beauty can come into the world. I then get to reinterpret what it means to be proud. I am glad for something wonderful like being being a father. I learn all manner of ways for my children to experience this love bubbling up in me to overflowing. It is the essence of knowing mercy. The mother has to sacrifice her life in labor, while the dad enters an adventure of knowing how wonderful it is to watch birth happen and see the child grow.


Thanks you Julie for daring to ask the question.
Happy Father's day to one and all.
