Our God is in Control

Every day that I wake up and have a note of Thanksgiving to our Wonderful Creator for another day to live and breathe. And then I look over the see the wonderful bride He gave me over 60 years ago and my praise to Him just doubles. And here we now are at the end of another week, and I look around and see the sun so gloriously shining -- it is a reminder that the presence of God is so real, that even though we can not look into the sun, it's presence is so wonderfully felt in warmth and light. There are not enough words to express my praise, my love and my thanks to a God Who would love and bless an individual like me.

Appointments

We receive these reminders from Doctors offices that we either must make an appointment or a reminder to keep one coming up. These appointments creep up on us and we are thankful that these reminders are made. It seems the older we get we need to be reminded for so many things. That seems true when it comes to our Relationship with the Lord Jesus. It is wonderful to hear the Word of God in the version that we memorized during our younger years. Often, when we hear the Scripture quoted by the Minister during his sermon, that both Joy and I repeat the Scripture aloud as it is being quoted in the sermon. How precious and alive the Word of God becomes, and the fellowship we have with our Living Lord brings real life into our beings. What a reminder of the appointment that we have when the Glorious Chariot of our God comes for our final ride Home.

Century + Six!

Here is a picture of my Mom and Dad in the 1950's!

One Hundred and six years ago today my Mother was born in London, England. However she only lived to her 89th birthday. She may have had only a 3rd grade education; however, she did accomplish a few things in her life like mastering basic arithmetic, and during World War II she did obtain a machinist certificate that qualified her to work for Central Aircraft just outside of London, Ontario that manufactured the Mosquito bomber that was quite effective in the war effort. She had her good qualities as well as her bad, but she did have a love for the Lord Jesus that she passed on to her family. This is another memory that captivates me.

Closing!

We got word today that the closing of he house sale in London was finalized around 11 AM and the Lawyer is holding the proceeds until Canada Revenue issues the Certificate permitting them to release the payment to us. The Lawyer's Secretary tried contacting them but the person who hanles this at the tax office was not there. So it will require patience for them release the funds to be deposited in my bank account there in Canada. We have just committed this to the Lord for His intervention.
