a picture of the Father I longed to have, and of the Father I long to be

I've been told that the most powerful voice we ever hear comes from the lips of our fathers. The blessings, curses, or silence of our fathers has a way of echoing around in our souls for most of our lives. I've been a father for almost 12 years now. Nothing has grown me up more, broken me more deeply, thrilled me beyond words more than being a dad. It is a role that I cherish and rejoice in.
This video and song by Sawyer Brown paints a picture of the Dad I longed for and the Father I long to be. I hope you enjoy the image of a Father in the video as much as I do. It points me to my Heavenly Father who will love me and bless me, in spite of all of my failing.
