Other than Jesus, Joseph is by far my favorite person in the Christmas story. I love how he selflessly accepts this call by God to become Jesus’ earthly step-father. While Jesus may not share his DNA, he does receive Joseph’s character. So this message is dedicated to all the fathers, grandfathers, adoptive fathers, step-fathers, and step-in-fathers and the important role they play in the lives of young people around them.
Merry Christmas to all!
