Today you’re meeting Gideon. Gideon is the older brother of Little God’s Way. While he tries his best to put on a tough guy exterior, I know he is just a big bowl of lovin’ on the inside. Gideon had been rescued from Lake Volta once before, only to be sold again by his mother. It’s actually a more common thing then you would think, it’s a vicious cycle that needs to be ended by homes like The Fathers House. Gideon wants to grow up to be a football player (for us Americans, a soccer player) but I have this strange feeling that God has a much bigger plan for him. I just know it. Along with being super sensitive, and caring he is also completely stubborn. If you say up, he says down. If you say stop, he says go. Just when you think that you can’t handle it, he’ll look up with you with his big brown eyes and ask for a hug.You can do nothing but wrap your arms around him and just give him the love he can’t get enough of and you can't give enough of.
