HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
HERE IS TO YOU JOHN DAVID SOUDER - A TRUE GENUINE FATHER. What is a father after all. Is he like God, all protective, all knowing, all protecting and has your back at every turn?
Some of us had that, some of us didn't. What I see in John is how he has really put every effort into honoring God by being an upright, honest, God fearing person with integrity and unconditional positive regard for everyone. He has rescued animals galore, and taken care of God's gift of property that we have had here for 43 years. No one has done it better. He has a deep respect for nature and does give the benefit of doubt to most who cross his path. Does he have a moment when you have crossed that line, oh yeah! But it takes a whole lot to turn that corner and for that I am grateful.
I have certainly crossed the line many times. We need more people like John David Souder in today's world. I am just fortunate to have been blessed with a true renaissance man. He could iron, cook, plant flowers, mow, build a building, paint one, draw one, fix a car, build a car, parent and grand parent, teach, name it and he would try to conquer it. I have seen him stay up at nights processing in his head how to fix something that broke or needed facilitated. Sure enough - he came up with it.
He learned how to say "I'm sorry" which is rare, and fix things he didn't like about himself. We can learn from him, I just wish we could spread him around more.
Happy Father's Day to a real gem and treasure.
