: Soul Mining By Miles Patrick Yohnke Sweet Lord, the only supervisor, what have you watched us mine thus far? Miners are typically stereotyped as workers carrying shovels. I suppose that is because we see them as people who dig. We as the human race can learn a lot from miners and their work ethic, conviction, and how they dig to extract the best from the depths. We too can extract the best from our depths. My father, Francis Lewis Yohnke, who
was born colour blind, worked in the mines. Colour blind not only in vision, but also in how he saw his fellow man, and the insignificance of the colour of their skin or origin; he held no prejudice in any way. It was an evening in 1968, and our prairie summer sun had just set. There was a knock on our front door and a neighbour who lived up the street from us was calling on my
Father. He had just been released from jail and had previously worked an office job at the Allan potash mine (a mine that my father had helped build some years earlier) after it was completed. He had been caught taking money from the company and had just finished serving time for fraud. Now
out of jail and having a hard time finding steady work (he had his house, family and kids to support), he was short on funds. After discussing his situation with my Father outside on our home's front steps, Dad came in and asked Mom (she took care of the family finances) to write a $100 cheque out to him. This was a lot of money back then. Dad knew that the money wouldn't be returned. He knew our own family would have to make adjustments with our own spending over the coming months to compensate for the lost income. That was Dad. Always
mining to help another. Digging into how he could improve or protect others and their lives and loved ones. Let's continue to read the rest of the story: http://www.Motivateus.com/stories/soul-mining.htm Wishing you a soulful day! Love and Blessings, Marlene |
