Eric had his first inkling toward fatherhood just recently.
It didn't come from seeing his brother's adorable new little one last weekend.
It didn't come from my cooing at how cute the baby clothes were as I craned my neck to see the baby aisle at Target, while Eric grabbed my hand tighter and yanked me away.
It didn't even come from God's Word, the command to be fruitful and multiply or the heavy charge relating to bringing up children in the Way.
It came yesterday at church.
It was Fathers Day, as you're likely well aware, and our church gave copies of John Piper's 31-day devotional, Life as a Vapor, to all the dads, as a gift.
Apparently that's what got him.
He turned to me, patted my knee and said... "Andi, we've got to start having kids. I'm missing out here."
Yup.
Eric finally sees the reward of fatherhood, and he wants to capitalize.
Sigh.
;)
