blessings!

Several weeks ago as Liz and I arrived at an appointment in a neighboring community we were dismayed, although not surprised, that our car sputtered to it's end. We had been hoping it would last us for several more months, but it breathed it's last that day and has since been reconciled to it's fate as a pancake.

We were at a bit of a loss as to just what we would do for transportation, but the Lord certainly had it all well planned out. And before that day was over ,our need was provided for. Some wonderfully kind folks who were aware of our need felt led to provide for it in a most generous way! They called us that evening and told us they would be giving us their 2000 Ford Windstar. I picked it up last weekend and we have been driving it for the week - it works beautifully!

We are so thankful for this kindness of friends and for their giving spirit in this amazing provision.

A very snowy April 1st!

Rolling to a Halt.

Yesterday as we pulled out of the yard we had no idea that our little car would never be returning. As we drove to an appointment in a neighboring community the car made some strange noises. Little did we know but, although the gauges never fluttered the engine had run out of coolant and just as we pulled into the parking lot of our destination the car breathed it's last, and coughed out one small little puff of smoke. Unfortunately, because of the age and condition of the car, it is not worth attempting a resurrection. It will be going to a junk yard tomorrow. I salvaged the tires and battery and will get as much as I can for them on Kijiji.

Since we are going to be out West for a couple of weeks beginning this weekend we won't be looking for a replacement vehicle until we return. Please keep this in prayer, that we might be able to find a suitable vehicle within our means.
