Weekend Glimpses

Sitting down and hearing the journey of others is such an honor and gift. Every moment is precious.

Now we have a few days where it is full steam ahead on ensuring that the bookings for the Ukraine are firm, that we each know what we have to do to apply for visas. There are a lot of details that must be put into place and many that will unfold as we go along. Our team has now grown to 8, and it could well be we will have 10 before we depart on May 13. The concern is to make sure we all have our Ukrainian visas issued in time for that departure. We required $3000 to fund the cost of printing the Prayer Journal in Russian.

Scott and Idelette’s little one is to arrive at anytime and the family eagerly awaits the arrival. Although not as eagerly, I am sure, as the parents themselves!

Dorothy and Doug are holding down the fort with Grandma this weekend. Dorothea is baking the croissants this morning for the 2 couples and 2 children. These guests are guest speakers at a local church and as we had some room available they have been able to stay over.

Rob and Mike have been working on the studio, putting some beautiful beams in place.

Last Monday Gwen’s friend Anne spoke about knowing “the power of His resurrection”. Easter is such a big event to celebrate for followers of Jesus and somehow I had just assumed that resurrection morning was full of this celebratory flavour. Celebration is connected with numbers, noise, and a party atmosphere. When Anne spoke of resurrection morning being quiet, gentle and very unassuming it was a reminder that we in solitude and in community know “the power of His resurrection”. The power of Jesus presence is within because He breathed it into us.
