Bryan and I do not have children of our own however I am proud to say that we have both had the opportunity to serve as sit in parents for several children that are now adults. Today I honored my husband as an honorary father. He served as a teacher for many years. During that time two of his students became very attached to him while in the sixth grade. Neither of these students had a father figure so Bryan became their honorary father. Today the young lady is a beautiful 25 year old adult working in New York and the young man is a 28 year old working young man and now father himself.
It was very nice to enjoy lunch with him and his honorary daughter today. Over the years he has supported her through college and has been there for her emotionally. His adopted son has stated that Bryan is the reason he is not on the streets and why he is a good father today. I am honored to honor my husband as an honorary father to the two people he has truly served as the substitute dad.
Wives of the world how did you honor your mate as a father today? Are you a woman who is lucky enough to have someone that has taken on the responsibility as dad to your children that are not his? How can you ensure he feel acknowledged and rewarded for his unselfish giving of his heart, time, resources and love? Please share your stories with us we would love to hear from you.
Blessings,
Rochelle

What a blessing to hear of men who are willing to look around and find young people to influence, especially young people who NEED godly influence. Your husband is a special person to be doing this. God bless him!
Thanks Conny, Yes he is special in that way. He loves kids and helping one in need has always been a passion of his.
