What is Better on Father's Day?

A few days ago I wrote about the joys of seeing my son Timothy Andrew interact with his son Jack Donovan Sweeten. It is a joy to finally see what our kids are made of and Tim is a very warm and loving father. Nothing could be better.

But I have something just as good: a son in law who is caring, warm, attentive and diligent. For many years Karen and I prayed for a good man to marry Julia. Rarely are one's prayers answered with such a resounding "YES!" as those were.

Over Father's Day we saw again how much David loves his family and shows it in his quiet and humble manner. Jacob and Lily love and admire their dad and he deserves their respect without demanding it with fear.

A good man now a days is hard to find so the fact that we have two in the next generation is another testimony to God's grace.
