*Darrell Ginther and his younger brother Lorin, their father killed in a recent plane crash, showed great concern for Grandpa Ginther's soul, pleading that he accept Christ into his heart lest he go to Hell. John Ginther, who always evidenced great love for children, then broke and prayed the Sinner's Prayer and became a child of God himself. This proves that a child's plea can turn away maybe even deserved wrath of God and open a fountain of saving grace!
**Concerning Alfred Stadem and the two grandsons leading Grandpa Ginther to the Lord: "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation..." Isaiah 52:7
***"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me, I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see." -- "Amazing Grace" by John Newton (please link to the song on the Cyberhymnal)
Grandpa Ginther loved children, and children loved him for the ponies, carts, and trick horses, but, sadly, his life's legacy held nothing spiritual to pass on to his descendants; for an account of a "grasshopper" who built his house on sand, see Matt. 7:24-29. Evenso, we treasure old pictures of his wonderful ponies, trick horses, and carousel and special pony carts! Please use the link below to see how God gifted Grandpa Ginther to train horses and ponies and also to construct ingenious carts and circus equipment, and we would truly like to honor him for the joy this gift of his gave many children, both in our family and spread through towns and villages of the Dakotas.
