Showers of Blessing!

The week of meetings ended with a torrential downpour:). It was quite amazing really and although it was hard to hear Bro. Webster at times, I've always thought it was neat to hear the rain beating against the top of the tent. We didn't get any inside, so all was well. There were many spiritual blessings throughout the week and we thank the Lord for the work that He's done and continuing to do in the lives of those who came. Sadly, there were people who missed out on a great blessing by not coming, but we'll continue to pray for them as well. That God will give them a greater thirst for His word and taking full advantage of every opportunity they have to hear it preached and taught.

Along with the blessings, there usually comes some opposition. I won't write about it though. It takes one to a negative way of thinking, but we'd appreciate prayers as we work through these challenges.

A big praise! The Lord helped me to find our camera and I was able to get some pictures before Nathan left. Not of us together, but some pretty good ones that last night. I'll post those at the end.

Last night we decided that I would take Nathan to the airport so that Scott could help get the tent taken down. I was a bit nervous because I'd never driven through Saskatoon. I'm usually just a passenger. All 4 of the kids went and they did quite well. 1 Patch the Pirate story and 1 Mr. Dressup dvd got us all the way there:). I was sad to see Nathan go, but VERY Thankful for the time that we were able to spend with him. We hope to bring him back for our tent meeting next year. Maybe Jason and Mom as well. We'll see what happens.

Overall, the week was better than we could have imagined. We prayed that God would work and He really did! We prayed that visitors would come and they did! We prayed for God to work in us and He did! I prayed for the food to turn out good and for people to enjoy it. Judging from the comments: They did! So, enjoying a bit of quiet, but looking forward to and already starting to pray for next year's meetings.

Here are the promised pictures:

I especially like the one of Nathan with the Tim Horton's coffee. I've never had any to drink, but he says it's pretty good:). At least I know what to send him for Christmas now;). I really should head to bed. These late nights are catching up to me and I don't want to be tired for church tomorrow. Til next time...
