Weekend

This past weekend there has not been much change with dad. He is still waking up on occasion, is suffering with pain and nausea, and he is getting weaker on a daily basis. On Sunday evening dad was awake and aware enough to watch a slide show with Peter, Naomi, Sean and Aiden. The slides were oldies, but goodies of mom and dads first few years of marriage, their days at Dordt College, and of Peter as a little rug rat!

We as a family have really appreciated the flood of emails we have received, each of which has been read to dad as well.

Thanks again for all your prayers and love!

  1. Greetings Bill, Judy and your precious family,
    I remember when you were members at Glad Tidings and then God called you into the ministry and we had to say good bye. I recall your gentleness and and quiet compassion. Over the years your Mom and I would talk about how your lives were a blessing of being a good Pastor and a good man. I remember your invite to "Rhema" to Saskatoon and the good time we had with you and your congregation there.
    Be blessed my dear friends and be comforted in the name and arms of Jesus. Love you, Marion (Van Gaalen)

  2. Bill, Judy and family,
    Naomi, thank you for the update. What a wonderful opportunity to be able to share the past with each.
    Updates are read everyday,and the first question is "What does that mean mom? We can only pray that God gives you the strength to walk thru each day.
    Thinking of you
