Now, I realize to the outside world...he might be seen as just an ordinary guy. He's a middle school teacher, who likes to relax with his kids, and who loves to fish. He's pretty simple and very easy to please. I guess most people would think he's pretty ordinary.
But, what makes him extraordinary, you ask? He is on his face before the Lord for us...his family. He prays for us and loves us in such a radical and unconditional way. He goes without so that we can have. He says he is sorry, and extends us forgiveness when needed. Everyday this man tells me that I am beautiful and how much he adores me. Everyday he makes his boys feel like they are the most important kids in the world. He tells them and shows them that they are special to him. Everyday, he whispers to his little princess that she is valued, beloved, and has a lot to offer. This is radical. This is extraordinary.
Eli Foster is changing the generations. There is a very powerful, spiritual shift that is taking place and he is at the very center of it...that's pretty extraordinary.
Happy Father's Day, Eli. Thank you for being extraordinary.
How perfect is this!!! Celebrating good, courageous men like Eli...everyday is Father's Day!!
