On this Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, we want to make it official: we thank God for the challenges he has sent our way. Carol and I were talking the other night about how we're learning attitudes and perspectives that we couldn't imagine coming any other way. While many are suffering in this world, we're grateful to be included in that host, and God has become more real to us. For those of you who know the Bible, you could easily recall many verses that verify what we're saying. One of them goes like this: "
Don't worry about anything, instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. If you do this you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." (Philippians, 4:6-7, New Living Translation).
We also thank God for those of you who follow our journey with such interest and prayers. You have been an amazing gift to us. My latest report from the CT Scan suggests the cancer is not spreading, so for today that's encouraging news.
The attached pictures of Carol's recent visit to Regina will help you visualize our deep thankfulness for all those in our family there as well as in Western New York. God is good . . . all the time, and we're thankful.
