This weekend we were blessed to spend time with our friends, the Allard family. Brian's elegant messages, the greatest love story and the greatest gift you can give your family is forgiveness, were inspirational. Jana and Bryce are amazingly blessed with a God-given talent, singing. It is always a joy to hear Jana and Bryce sing. To cap it all off, Bryne and Blake sang!


Most importantly, it is always refreshing to spend time with friends. We were simply able to chat while the kids went ice skating. With the help of Bryce, Sheldon learned how to ice skate! Bryne and Blake are natural ice skaters. It was fun watching the kids ice stake. I am thankful for the simple occurrences of life as they make indelible memories!


Last but not least, fourteen guests visited our church! The Lord's unseen hand is definitely at work. I am reminded of the scripture that says, "Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it . . .." Psa. 127.1 Our labor is not in vain! I truly believe the Lord is honoring every endeavor we make as we witness to people that we meet a daily basis. If we continue to witness, the Lord will continue to draw people to the church.

In conclusion, here is a scripture to meditate upon: The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. (Psa. 28.7)
