Day 33: An Unorthodox Father

I became a father in an unorthodox way. When I married my first wife I got eight children, eight daughters in one day. When I married 30 years later, when I married Ruth, my second wife, I got three more adopted children. And in between Lydia and I adopted one other African little girl, so I am an adopted father to twelve adopted children. And I would have to say God didn’t give me a lot of training, He just threw me in in the deep end and said ‘Swim’! But I have come in that rather unorthodox route to understand the desperate need that people have for a father.
