God provided an earthly father for His Son. Think about that and what it says about the importance of fatherhood in the family! St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus, pray for all fathers that they may be faithful guides and protectors of their families.

This is a poignant post for me, Mary Ann. :^)
ReplyDeleteOur oldest was born on this date 26 yrs ago!
Sadly, it was my father-in-law's death (on the same day) that stressed my wife so much - her water broke and Keri was born soon after.
Please say one for my F-i-L, Mary Ann. His name was James.
God bless,
Kev
I certainly will, Kevin. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. 2018 for us has been a year of "taketh away." I pray that 2019 will bring the "giveth."
