Now I won't be able to post them! Lemme see if I can hunt up pics elsewhere...there have got to be pictures about our trip to Canada years ago for Daddy's honorary graduation...Oh, here's one!
This year Joyce and I wanted to go back and visit with cousins that came out then. Our parents' generation have all passed away; and my sister Janice couldn't come this time; but Joyce came in her place. At first, we planned to stay with a relative of a friend (these are all former missionaries) who happened to live in the small town of Abbotsford, where we were visiting.
But just before the trip, another relative nearby had back injury requiring her care, so we asked our cousin Kim, who also lives in Abbotsford, to arrange other lodging for us. She found us a nice clubhouse-The photo is of a place actually across the street....
.
The next day, we went to our cousin Paula's. Where are they looking?!?...and Joyce was able to show her furlough church presentation there...No! wrong picture! Those are boxers! Even Chloe (she is our one saved niece) can see that!.Well, maybe you appreciate the modern decor shown in the picture, anyway. That house used to stall horses, until Chloe's husband Kevin, a Royal Mounted Police with experience in building houses, built that home for Paula (Chloe's mom). Awesome job!
We had been looking forward to going to church that Sunday with Chloe and her family, since they are the only Christian family of our relatives in Canada. But we learned they were going on vacation. God had healed my friend's relative's back to the point she was walking with a cane, and she invited us to come to her church that week, as well as stay for fellowship that afternoon--which we did. Meeting Aunt Marianne turned out to be the biggest blessing of my trip!
Those in the fellowship drove us home. I pack away photographs I'll need later; God sees to our needs before we are aware of them. He is so different from us, isn't He? And aren't we ever glad He is?
