Joseph Was a Loving Father

by Vincent Iezzi

"...But while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a and thou shalt call his name JESUS. For he shall save his people from their sins..." Matt 1:20-21 With these words and this command, Joseph stepped into history with blind faith and little knowledge. Revelators say little of him; they slip over him. His humanity ignored. His obedience forgotten. His humility, his love, and his servitude were breezed over because he was a supporting actor. To humankind Joseph was nearly neglected, remembered only with a quick glance or a small prayer. Yet in his heavenly reward he undoubtedly is honored greatly, for we know that his God is a God of gratitude and One of great love. This is a book - a story - of Joseph the man and father.
