Thanks for being encouragers

Today was such an eventful day that I am composing this blog with Laverne's help at 10:00 at night. We attended church this morning and the message was very appropriate as it was about maintaining our faith in the storms of life. Mike reminded us that when the disciples faced a very real storm on the Sea of Galilee Jesus was with them asleep on a pillow in the bottom of the boat. After church we came home and awaited the arrival of Laverne's sister Eleanor and her husband Geoff. They arrived along with Laverne's parents from town and we had bbqed salmon given to us by a friend at church. THus begins old home week as we are also expecting Laverne's brother as well as some nieces and nephews. I think of the encouragement we receive from our family - both the spiritual family at Kelly Creek and our Bible Study (not to mention all you who comment on the blog) and our natural family(my brother and family and Laverne's family). I want to thank you all for being the encouragers to us.
