I'm sitting here at my computer, trying to figure out how best to describe these 3 men...
They all love the Lord.
They love Him like crazy and spend time each day in the Word, reading and praying and striving to be more like Christ.
They all love their families. Let me repeat that. They all love their families. This is no small thing.
They love their families like crazy in a culture where the family is becoming more and more obsolete.
They are kind.
They are gracious.
They are compassionate and tender.
Yes, they're all sinners, but they are sinners who understand the work of grace and redemption that God has done in their lives. And they're thankful for it... and humbled by it.
These men are real men.
They are good men.
They are men who tenderly read Bible stories to little ones.
They are men who fiercely lead and protect their families.
They are men who listen. Who wash dishes to give their wives a break.
They are men who work hard at integrity. Who take their word and reputation seriously.
They are men who only have eyes for their wives.
They are men who get their families to church every sunday morning, more or less on time.
They are men who serve in the church, sacrificing free time to do so.
They are men who work hard. Who sacrifice regularly. Who love and laugh and cry and hug.
They are men who sing praises to God and encourage their wives and children constantly.
They are men who, by God's grace, walk upright in the midst of a crooked and depraved generation.
They are good men, and they are the men I had the privilege to celebrate today.
Andrew, Dad, Dad Meade, I love you and am so incredibly thankful for you. Happy Father's day to the best men I know.

Unfortunately, I forgot to take any pictures until we went for snow cones this evening, but at least we got a few. :o) ps- Dad Meade had a Dunkin Donuts meeting, so he sadly wasn't here for the one and only Father's Day photo shoot. we'll get him in some pics next time!
