When we had decided it was the will of God to pack up and move all the way across the country I was grieving at the thought of leaving my children and grandchildren behind. I didn't know how I was going to do that -- to go to a brand new area so far away where I knew hardly a soul and all my family thousands of miles away.
But you see, God had a plan unbeknowns to me! And next thing I knew the church had decided to hire my oldest son as Music Pastor/Youth Pastor and so he's been working with us ever since we came. And what a blessing he is to us all here! I was so thankful to have he and my wonderful daughter in law and my grandchildren to travel along with us all across Canada and move to the Vancouver area.
Less than a year later my other son and daughter arrived on the scene meaning that I had all of my kids here! What a blessing! God never ceases to amaze me and He always more than makes up for any sacrifice we make in serving Him.
Tomorrow my daughter and son in law and family and grandkids are taking me to a nice restaurant downtown Vancouver. Then we're going to Stanley Park afterward I believe. We'll all have a great time.
I was in tears an hour or so ago when I opened an email from my son and the following note........
Hey Mom,
I put this song together for you for mother's day. I didn't write it all but did change some things to make it fit. I hope you enjoy it and that you know that I love you very much and really am so thankful that I have you in my life!
Happy Mother's Day!
Tony
