It seems that the news is full of stories about men who perform far below their potential. In fact I thinks society as a whole has given men an out, so to speak. You often hear, "oh he's just a guy he can't help it".
Recently we had the choice experience of visiting with Anna's Birth mom. Or should I say, she came to visit us. During her visit we had many great confidential conversations, but one topic of discussion keeps popping up in my thoughts. I am sure I am okay with sharing a bit of our discussion. She was very impressed with the calibre of men in our world. You see,like many women in our world she has met some less then savory individuals masquerading as "men".
While looking for a family for Anna she wanted a guarantee that Anna would be surrounded by good men, but first she had to believe that they even exist. Over the past six months she has witnessed the beauty of a kind, loving daddy and husband and great brothers. During her visit she got to meet, Grandpas and Uncles. Her current thought that all men are "scary", has been altered. She could not be surrounded by our great men and still think that way. They have played a vital part in our Anna miracle and for that I am truly grateful!
No they are not perfect, I'm sure we all realize that,no one is. They do however, have the goal of becoming that way. Their daily actions reflect that, and all within their loving care are blessed by it.
More and more I am grateful beyond explanation for our good men!
This is a very sweet video we just saw. I think it matches this theme.
