"He believed, hoping against hope, that he would become the father of many nations, according to what was said, Thus shall your descendants be. " - Romans 4:18
Today's GregBlog is just like Greg... Short, sweet and happy to be a Dad!
It's the Feast of St. Joseph, a decendant of King David, a child of Abraham, the earthly father of Christ, and devoted husband of the Blessed Mother Mary, and by all accounts the "greatest Italian to ever live." LOL
If fathers give life to their children, they also pass on ways to live those lives. My Dad gave me Lionel Hampton, and a great "why not" view of living. Abraham gave life to his children, and passed on an attitude of unfailing hope in God's divine plan. King David gave his children a renewed kingdom of strength in the faith that God would lead them into the future. Joseph, inherited the life of Christ, chosen by God to accompany the Holy Spirit and a Blessed Mother in the proclaimation of the reality of everlasting life, one day at a time, raising Jesus in the ways of the faith, and the values of a productive day's work.
Abraham "hoped against hope", and God prevailed!
David promised to share a kingdom, amd God prevailed!
Joseph protected his family, and God prevailed!
Mr. Ed shared his love with Greg, and God prevailed!
Greg sits here with his beautiful wife Karen, and his amazing kids Michelle and Megan, knowing that... You guessed it... God will prevail! Today's celebration is the feast of a father's love for his family, and maybe that's why today's feast is truly a FEAST! So breakout the pasta and meatballs, the fruit and the pastries, and toast your family with a nice glass of Chianti... St. Joseph, pray for us!
