From Father to Son to Father
Over the years there has been much speculation about Joseph the father of Jesus. Many writers have tried to think through what it must have meant for Joseph to have taken on such a role knowing that Jesus was such a special child and not his own.
Joseph is a bit of a mentor for all Dads, but especially those who are caring for children they are bringing up as their own. The great thing is that he did it and did it successfully. I'm sure there are times when those who are in such a role feel a bit like an outsider and may even feel what they are doing is out of place. What an encouragement to be reminded that God entrusted his Son Jesus into the hands of another. Here's a great song written by one of the Bogle Band Colin Jamieson and sung by Iain. I hope you enjoy it. Joseph As you listen take a moment to pray for all who are members of blended families. Christmas can be one of the most enjoyable but also one of the most stressful times if you are in such a position. However learning to trust God can be an amazing step forward in all family disputes.\
JOSEPH
I'm known to my friends as Joe
But do they really know me?
I doubt it.
Okay People know our names
but they don't really know us.
I'm a carpenter
I make things
I like working with wood.
When it comes to understanding
Women - well
that's a different kettle of fish
I didn't think I could deal
with the problem I found myself in.
It has been a difficult one
This whole situation about
Mary's pregnancy
Freaked me out!

I was ready to walk away .
Then, the whole thing changed overnight.
I had a dream and the next thing I knew
I had a change of attitude.
I now know I can work at this
Make it work
I'm a worker by nature
I think God knew that
"Work it out ," he said
Work it out Joe!
