Brother. Nephew.

every time i glance at my nephew i see my brother-in-law, eric, all over him. i see the joy that eric has in Jesus and i see how much he loves him. eric is just the most amazing man of God i have ever met. he loves Jesus with all of heart and that light that eric has shines through his son. everytime i am with them together i just love to look at the look that eric always seems to have on his face. it is a proud daddy look. it makes me smile. zechariah is the most blessed little boy i have ever met in my life. he has a dad who loves Jesus so much and will tell him about Him as he grows up. eric is on fire for Jesus and you can see that so easily. yes, everyone says that zechariah and eric look exactly alike... and don't get me wrong they do. but i always seem to look past that and see how alike they are in that they are both sons of God and eric has the privilidge to watch over and care for zechariah. i always see that in eric. he was made to be a dad, and was made to marry my sister. he was made to be the father of my nephew and raise him to love Jesus just as much as him. i honestly could go on forever about how incredible he is. but there is just one more thing to say. when i look into zechariahs eyes i see the love of God and the joy of his Savior Jesus. and when i look at eric.. i see the same thing and i know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this little boy recieved that look from his earthly and heavenly daddy.
