I am back in Haiti. Mary will join me in September:-) It was a great summer experiencing God's goodness in our daily lives. There were too many happenings of His presence and daily workings that only a few are shown here. Mary and I enjoyed the time spent with my brother-in-law and sister in Michigan. We joined His church members cleaning the debris beside the highway - enjoying the presence of His people also in Michigan. Lunch was served for all who participated. His servants at work in His creation.

I attended the Christian School International convention in St. Louis, Missouri. This was the St. Louis RV Park - we did just that, park the RV. It was hot and humid and with no grass, nor trees. We spent the time in the pool and in the RV. The convention was good since it reminded me once again that my heart, head and hands all need to work together to serve Him. At times the head leads,or sometimes the heart or other times the hands - but the others soon catch up and are in sync with one another serving the Master.

After our visit to the Port Perry church for our show and tell to the congregation, we spent some time in the Niagara area. We used to live in St. Catharines which was about 30 minutes from the Falls. At the Falls, our Lord showed His promise to us once again that He is our God and He is our Guide each and every day. His promises never fail. He is my Redeemer King and I will continue to work in His presence each and every day. He is faithful. Help us to be living witnesses Lord each and every day wherever we are planted.

Family is important - the family of God and our family. The nurturing of one's children and grandchildren never end. I need to be a more faithful story teller, telling the next generation how the Lord has worked in our lives. Here are family members and their friends sharing the celebrations of July 1st, or Canada Day. Thank You Lord for all the opportunities You give to serve in freedom in this nation. Help us to never take all those freedoms for granted, especially the freedom to serve You.


Together we could celebrate God's faithfulness as a family celebrating Mary's 60th birthday together before I left for Haiti once again. I left the day after her birthday. We had our children, grandchildren and brothers and sisters come together to celebrate. Be careful of the shunk crossing. See the signs? Mary was totally surprised when we arrived for the party in Chatham. The kids did a super job in preparing the party centered on an Oriental theme. What a blessing to be able to come together and celebrate!
