As the second in a series of “Thankful” posts this month, and with a fun “Simplify and Savor the Season” podcast Tip #2.
With every superpower known to comics paraded over the screen lately, I’ve thought about what makes a man a super hero. Know what I’ve realized? It’s being an everyday good husband and father.
Recently, and with that perspective, I watched my own husband from a strictly “everyday hero” point of view. He raced home from a stressful workday, scarfed down a quick meal, and carted six children to a seasonal corn maze.
There, instead of doing the He-Man frightening fun, he held hands with our young daughters, dove into the corn kernels (and later shook them from his shoes), and videotaped them on a bull ride. He should have been relaxing with a remote but instead was cheering on a pig race while taking a turn holding our baby. Thoughtfully, he brought me roasted pecans, lugged the diaper bag, and in a manly tender way dressed the baby in a fuzzy bear winter outfit to keep out the chill.
Observing all he did — quietly and without fanfare — I felt washed over with love for him. He could have been doing anything else, anywhere else, but he wanted to be with us.
