Blessings

I thought it was time to think of all the blessings in my life right now...

- the encouragement and care from so many as I've shared stories about life and ministry during all the various speaking engagements

- a crazy but absolutely wonderful thanksgiving with my entire family...the first in two years

- the spectacular nature and scenery of the Atlantic provinces

- the care and concern from the CBM home office staff

- hugs

- time spent with friends

- a really good cup of tea

- Turkey dinner :)

- fully understanding worship services

- laughter with friends over coffee


'til next time,

Visits

I've been really enjoying the visits with the various churches I've been invited to so far. The following are just a few pics of some of people I've met with so far (I need to remember to use my camera more!).


Union Street Baptist WMS in St. Stephen, NB



Leona Mae Devine in Woods Harbour, NS



Middleton, NS ABW


Thanks to all of you from the various areas of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
that I've visited so far for your hospitality, care, and encouragement!
You've been a blessing!

Finally!


Hello all! My apologies for not doing an update sooner. It's hard to believe that it's coming up on the middle of October already. Part of me feels that it's been a whirlwind of activity since arriving in Canada (Sept. 7th) and that there's no way it should be the middle of October yet and the other part of me feels like I've been here for much longer. Go figure...I guess my brain is just basically messed up! :)

All I can say is that it's a joy to be here...both to be with family as well as meeting with many churches, friends, and individual supporters. I'm amazed and blessed by how many have told me that they enjoy reading my blog and I'm just meeting them for the first time. Thanks so much for all the encouragement that I've received since being back in Canada. It's been great to meet so many new people and reconnect with others.

I'll be doing a couple of more updates regarding life, home assignment, etc. And then hopefully I'll be back into the swing of doing at least one update/week like I had been.

Blessings!
