Easter 2013

Our Eleven Grandchildren on September 9, 2012.

                                                        
Easter Sunday 2013. Blessed having all but our youngest grandson and his parents here.Benj is still waiting on the USA government to issue him the last required piece of documentation that will enable him to travel across the border legally.
Jane and I were able to travel states side on Friday March 22, Plan was to spend the weekend in Crown Point IN. But since there were a number of them sick there, we decided to stay in Michigan. So we spent 6 nights with both Kevin / Christine and Benj / Kelly. So we did get to see all of our clan in the last week. In the picture you can see back row l- r Brynne N ,Noah S,Gideon S,Tehya S,Christian H. Front row l-r Tristan S, Maren N, Annika N, Wyatt S holding Lucas N, Kambria N. If there was nothing else, these kids are more then enough reason for Jane and myself to keep on pressing in for successful treatment and healing for Jane. In case you are wondering about that bold head on the right, that is to show solidarity with Jane and others who lost their hair because of cancer treatments.

Good Friday and Easter day have been most meaning full to us both. Any questions about the meaning of our lives find their answers and peace in what Jesus did for us and all those who accept Him as Lord and Savior.
We hope you will continue to hold us up in prayer before the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It is He who sustains us day by day. This Tuesday morning will be blood work and a visit with Dr Aboo, and if blood test okay then another maintenance chemo treatment on Wednesday. The Salls came up on Thursday night, Heenes came up on Friday and the Noordermeer's from Crown Point came up early early morning Saturday (2 am). We all went Saturday morning to Walters Falls for a Maple Syrup Fest Breakfast. (That was also the day this guy turned 65.)

As you can tell, there is a lot that takes our minds of off the health concerns for a time. We are thankful for that.
In the barn, the Amish couple, Levi and Ida Yoder, are so much help to us in keeping Jane out of the barn as much as possible.

Jane is dealing with pain on and off on a daily basis as well as anxiety and some nausea which require her to takes meds at different times throughout the day. We would covet your specific prayers for some of these issues.  Thank you all so much for your interest in our lives and our prayer is that He will bless you abundantly as He blesses us each and every day.
