Daddy Love

This morning I overheard a conversation between my husband and my 3 year old. My son was expressing his undying affection for his daddy. It went something like this:

I love you all the way to heaven and back. Even when you die, I'll still love you. I love you always, even when you get mad. Sometimes it's hard to like you when your mad. Your kind of like a big bear. Rrraaahrr. But I still love you.

I wish I could have seen all the emotions that must have passed across my husband's face.

Fathers, how valuable and irreplaceable you are. Please know,

how easily your children love you,
how easily they fear you,
and how easily they forgive you.

Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.
Col. 3:21
