Guess which one keeps mom up at night and which one keeps mom on her feet all day? She is a gifted nurturer, making the home a place for young eyes and ears to see and hear God's goodness. At the risk of Christa's pride I will say it-- she is a beautifully gifted mother. And if you read this babe, and you need a humbling reminder, your dependence for wisdom and strength from the Lord is everything you need. You will always be lacking and only he provides abundant wisdom, food, life.Christa is like a fruitful vine, and this man is blessed (Psalm 128).
These are good boys. These are beautiful boys. The best thing they need is for their dad to love their mom well. For any prospective parents, the concern is often a financial debate, a question of whether the children will have sufficient food, clothing, shelter, health care, education, safety. I cannot emphasize enough, the true concern is whether a Christian husband and father leads his family to spiritual nourishment. This is much more than a physical effort, it is spiritual battle. Physical food is in abundance but it is the spiritual food that is scarce. Every Christian dad is prone to modeling physical overindulgence and spiritual malnourishment. If I am starving spiritually, my young boys could starve too. Physically, I can feed these boys all my life but only God can feed them in this life and the next, a food that satisfies into eternity.
