A Fruitful Vine

Your wife will be like a fruitful grapevine, flourishing within your home. Your children will be like vigorous young olive trees as they sit around your table. (Psalm 128:3 NLT)

I am a blessed man in so many ways. I might not have the earthly riches and fame that so many pursue, but what I have in my opinion is worth far more than silver or gold, fame and power.

I have been married for over seven years now to a most amazing woman. I could not have asked the Lord for a more Godly wife. She truly is one that loves God with all of her being. She radiates the need for the Creator in so many ways everyday. God has been merciful and gracious to me. I do not deserve her, but I rejoice in her.

Fruitful and flourishing. This describes my bride well. We have been blessed with three vigorous young children. I love being a husband and a father. It has been a dream since I was young. My children are a joy and I love them each so much. There is nothing more beautiful than to see young families who are fruitful and reflect the light of Jesus. I desire for my family to be a testimony to the grace of God, the love of God demonstrated to the poor and broken, those who have not been a part of a family. It's all about family and belonging. Our heavenly Father loves family and has created each of us to be in one, both naturally and spiritually.
