The true joys of Christmas certainly include seeing families cherishing time together. The smiles say it all!
This last month we traveled to Rochester, MN to encourage Dad as he endured a difficult surgery and cancer diagnosis. He still has some decisions to make regarding further treatments, and we would appreciate your prayers. The Mayo Clinic just has to be seen to appreciate their size and model of care. Even though the circumstances were tough, the family time was sweet.
Following the trip to MN, we drove to much warmer Tennessee to celebrate a lovely Christmas with Sara's family. They invited us and Bob, Janelle, and Olivia too. So as far as I am concerned, it was just perfect. We saw our grandchildren and had wonderful fellowship with the church folks and Sara's folks.
To finish out the month and into the New Year we drove to Chesapeake and enjoyed more warm weather and lots of fun family time with Dan, Sara, Peter, Bob, Janelle, and Olivia. We presented our Brazil work there the last Sunday of the year. Please pray for fruit from these churches.
We are now home again....Whew! I would not trade any of the times shared with our loved ones. What a Christmas blessing!
Everything here remained safe and dry. We do not take the Lord's protections for granted.
Thanks for remembering us in your prayers.
