A Joy to Watch

One of the most beautiful scenes I know of is a man skillfully caring for his well-behaved child. I am lucky enough to see two such scenes play out simultaneously once a week. There are two men, married to sisters, in my Sunday School class who each has a son about nine months old. The babies are usually very quiet and sweet, but the father's are also so wonderfully attentive with them. Unlike other men I've seen who appear helpless when handed a child, these two come armed with burp cloths, blankets, bottles, and binkies. They always seem to anticipate just what their sons will need or want and have it right at hand. I find myself constantly drawn to these scenes. I only hope it's not an overly obvious observation!
