Recently I decided that I want to start giving recognition to some of the truly amazing people in my life and in the world. This being the first Amazing Person Monday I want to give recognition to my husband Hans. I realize this might seem a bit biased but honestly Hans is an amazing human being.
To try and be less biased about this for Hans I thought I would do categories. The first category is him meeting the criteria outlined in the definition.
Causing great surprise or wonder; astonishing. Hans was just my friend when I first met him. He was a cool guy but I never expected that he would bring me as much joy or intellectual challenge as he has brought. Hans shocked me when I found out that he liked me and then he has shocked me ever since with his wit, commitment, giving heart, and hard work. There are so many more ways he has surprised me but these few I plan to focus on. Hans remembers things I don't even remember telling him. He tells me facts that I never would have guessed he would know and he can carry on in conversations with anyone comfortably. Hans is committed to God and to me. He is extremely loyal and has been an amazing friend to me. I have also seen Hans' commitment to others as he continues relationships with those who he is close with from a distance and takes time and care for friends nearby. He is always willing to help anyone who needs it and tends to put the needs of others before his own. Hans makes it a point to volunteer and to spend time to stay connected with his family who lives far away.
Whenever Hans has an extra of anything he thinks of who he could give it too. He also seems to think of who he could give things to when there are no extras. His heart is huge and holds a lot of care for people. Hans always sees the best in people and reminds me to see that too. Whenever I dislike someone or feel frustrated Hans reminds me about the good in that person or situation. He has amazing eyes in that he can always find what is positive in a person.
In Philippians there is a verse that says, "Do everything without complaining or arguing so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God, without fault in a crocked and deprived generation." Hans continually reminds me to seek to live this verse. I am so grateful for Hans. He truly encourages me to be the best person that I can be. I love him sincerely. I could say so much more about Hans but I don't want to get too sappy!
