It’s
But not only did I want to honor my husband, Kerwin, I thought of my own father, brother, and father-in-law. Each special and unique in their own right. They have each taught me something along the way, so as I honor my Kerwin in this post, I will mention what each of these men
My Dad
As a child I witnessed my dad struggle with a lot of demons and there were times when we didn’t have the best relationship. I was even angry with him, but as I got older, I begin to see that he is a mere man that is not perfect, no matter how much we expect our parents to be. It was through this revelation that I was able to see past the flaws and see the good, developing what is the great relationship that we have today.
He teaches me faith and perseverance. I have seen him knocked down too many times to count, but he always bounces back standing strong in faith. He never really complains, he just takes a licking and keep ticking believing God all the way to see him through. He teaches me no matter how bad it gets,
One thing I have always admired is that he never stays mad for long. Someone could make him mad and next thing I know he is okay and goes on as if it never happened.
It is also through him that I have inherited the gift of entrepreneurship. My dad is brilliant and has the ability to help people in startup businesses.
He always thought of me as an entrepreneur even when I didn’t see it. But over the past few
Okay, okay… I know I said I would mention one thing, but I couldn’t help myself LOL.
Happy Father’s Day Daddy, Love You !!
My Brother
My brother is such a goofball, but since I became married, I have admired his efforts on being a good father. I have learned through him and Kerwin the importance of masculinity and manhood.
The importance of giving men their space to raise and father their sons. That was something I never knew was of deep importance until I heard it from
I also admire his boldness. He is pretty fearless. If you follow him on social media, you would know what I mean LOL.
He has a natural “I don’t care what they think” attitude.
I’m trying to get to that point. I will keep studying him along with lots of
My Father-in-law
I won’t post a picture of him, because he’s top secret like that. Actually, he doesn’t like his pictures online and that I can respect especially these days.
Just imagine the Superman image because my husband and I call him that
I admire their relationship and even though my father-in-law doesn’t consider himself a Christian religious type person, he raised a godly man. I appreciate the masculinity he instills in his sons and equipped them to the best of his abilities to be heads of their families.
He truly has become a second father to me that I have been able to go to when needed, and I appreciate that!
Last, but certainly not least…
My husband, Kerwin
Never did I imagine the relationship that God has blessed Kerwin and I to have. God has truly blessed me with such a man. He really is my best friend and I wouldn’t know what to do without him.
His patience can’t be beat. The love he has for those around him can’t be compared. He has taught me so much during our years together. I certainly would not be the woman I am today had it not been for him.
He teaches me to relax and slow down. He is a more slow pace person than I am. It balances out, but there are a LOT of times when I really do need to pace myself. How many times, have I had to come back and say to him, “I am so glad I waited to do…”
I get very tense and nervous quickly, but he keeps me calm and I am glad I can look at him during hard times and see he is still standing strong and not in a panic. It keeps me at peace.
He has gently taught me how to be his
I have learned through him a beautiful lesson that God comes and shows up in many different ways that we can least expect it and not always understand right away.
He has taught me the importance of being a godly supportive wife. He’s been a wonderful example of leaving and cleaving to his wife and family and teaches me to establish healthy boundaries.
I appreciate and love how he takes actual time to play with our boys to the point where he is just completely worn out, but laughing and enjoying the whole time.
I love to see the boys crawl up on him and sit in his lap while he’s studying or watching t.v.
And it’s cute that he enjoys waking up every Sunday morning to make pancakes all because he knows our oldest, Nehemiah looks forward to it.
I also love to see his interaction with Nehemiah as he preps him in little ways to become the man that our little guy will eventually be.
I appreciate how he works hard for our family, yet is not afraid to come home and help me when he sees I need
These are some of the things that come to mind. I could go on.
I believe that’s why it pains me to see Father’s Day underrated and even disrespected by some.
My father, brother,
There are some men out there that are truly deadbeats. It’s unfortunate because they are missing out on one of life’s greatest gifts, being a father and raising the families they have created.
For those of you that have fathers and husbands who are around doing their best in this crazy world, acknowledge and honor them! Shower them in love. It’s hard out here. Take some time today to celebrate!!
How will you be celebrating Father’s Day??
