Fatherhood

Grandfather, Father & Son

Dearest Josiah,

Wow...look at how much you have grown. I am so thankful that you are growing so healthily and giving us a wonderful time caring for you. Well Josiah, do not think that you are only 6 weeks old and you can't teach daddy and mummy any lesson in life. Daddy learnt so much from you over this period and more than that, you make me realised who God is and His love for us.

Do you know that there was a night you were crying and feeling uncomfortable, Daddy was so so exhausted and really had no energy to carry you, I picked you up gently and placed you on my chest. Immediately, as you heard my heartbeat and felt my warm breath, you quieten down and fell into a peaceful sleep. Daddy was so moved at that moment.

I don't think I am a perfect dad, but I know no matter how tired or busy I can be, when you cry out for me, my immediate response is YOU! I think that is how God is to us. Very often, just like you, as we cry out our heart, and think who will come to our help; immediately, God responses. Fatherhood is His nature and His nature is fatherhood. How often do we realise that the moment we "cry out" to Him, we are actually already in His arms, leaning on His chest, His heartbeat comforts us, His breathe tells us He is with us.

Daddy brought you out for the very 1st time 2 week ago. As I carry you in my arms, I was so proud to show you to all the uncles and aunties. "SEE MY SON!!" That very moment, a strong thought struck my mind...once again, we serve a God that loves to parade us. WE ARE HIS PRECIOUS CHILDREN!! What an awesome encouragement that can be!!

Think about this, why can't we call God "Uncle", "Sir" "Mister" and etc. The reason lies in a relationship no other word can replace and that is Abba Father.

Josiah, if people ask me what is the greatest calling a man can possess, I will undeniably say it is Fatherhood

Josiah, Daddy & Mummy love you.

Daddy' & Mummy precious Josiah

Dear Josiah,

I want to pen down my thoughts in your blog this morning because the feeling of having you around is too awesome. Many uncles and aunties asked me how I felt when I first saw you and having you around in my arms. To be honest, it's just to much for me to express through any words.

It was an amazing feeling when we had our 1st father and son session this morning "sun bathing" together. I had a picture of you taken in a very cool pose..ha...Yesterday night was also your first night with us and you really make mummy worked very hard. We woke up almost every hour to feed you and change you. I guessed its tough and tiring but seeing you sound asleep each time literally took away our stress and anxiety.

There are many thing God can give us in our lifetime but it is till this moment, I realised that the greatest of all that he can give us beside His love through Jesus is a child. I was talking to mummy yesterday night that I could not fully understand the love of God to me till I am became a father myself. And of course, if the bible says that "even an earthly father can give their children what they need, how much more is our heavenly Father."

Looking forward to spend many days together. We may not be perfect parents but we want to be parents who can demostrate the perfect love of God in your life.

Josiah, Daddy and Mummy love you.
