Daddy Time

It has become a tradition that Alex and Perry spend some quality time together in the morning before Alex leaves for work--we call it "Daddy time". It all began about a month ago when Perry stopped sleeping well at night and so after our morning feeding I wanted to crawl right back in bed. At first I was simply thankful for the opportunity to catch some shut eye, but Daddy time has become something much greater and more meaningful than a little extra sleep. Part of Alex's morning routine is to read his Bible and daily devotion and now that Perry is there with him, Alex will talk to Perry about what he is reading and how to apply it to his life. Even though Perry is too young to understand what he is being told, I feel as though these "conversations" are already pointing our little boy towards Christ. I am so blessed to have a husband who strives to be a man of God and even more blessed to know that Perry has an earthly father who will always talk to him about his heavenly father. I pray that through the years Daddy time will continue to be a part of Perry's everyday life and that it will be a means by which God will teach and speak to both Alex and Perry.
