I spend a lot of time thinking about my son, Aidan. I am only six months pregnant, but already I am finding peace in the knowledge that my little boy has a godly father to lead him into manhood. Let me explain.
I have a wonderful husband. I respect and admire him more than I can say. I feel secure when he is near and trust him when he's elsewhere. I feel safe in his strength and protected by his gentle spirit.
He has proven himself to be more than willing and capable of leading our household spiritually. He is all man when it comes to cars and maintenance. He is willing to admit when he's wrong and makes efforts to correct himself. He is brilliant when it comes to matters of a scientific nature. He is not afraid of new challenges but looks at them from many angles and determines to face them head-on no matter the outcome. He is talented musically and strong physically. In other words, I think he's as close to the perfect man as you could find here on earth.
There are so many little boys (and age-grown men) who have no example to follow other than what they see on TV or witness when their mothers bring home strange male "friends." Or perhaps their role model is a man who abuses those he alledgedly loves. As a mother, my heart breaks for the boys who will never truly become men because no one is there to teach them.
I am so grateful my son has my husband to look up to and be proud of. I am thankful I don't have to worry my husband will mislead my little man spiritually or abuse him physically. I feel blessed to have found a man, a real man, who is overcoming the odds with fierce determination and is assuming his responsibilities as husband and father.
I have no grand idea to leave you with. I don't have anything inspiring to say. I just wanted to take the opportunity to tell everyone how amazing my husband is. I love you, Mark, and I thank God for you.
