Monday Nov.15 Update

We enjoyed having visitors on the weekend and are grateful for the encouragement. Peter's progress is still sure and he is sleeping better now. Sleep seems so important to the healing process. The staples were removed today and the incision looks good (from a nurses point of view!)

We received some sad news at 4.30 am today. Peter's Dad passed away in SouthAfrica early this morning. He has had heart problems for many years. It is always a shock to get this sort of news. Unfortunately, we are unable to go to S.A to attend the funeral, for obvious reasons at this stage. We are once again confident that these things are in the Lord's control , even though we'd dearly love to go and be with family at this time.

We are so thankful for all the help we've received recently ie. for friends who cared for the children while I went to Toronto, for the many meals being sent our way and for the cards of encouragement we've received in the mail. For many who have prayed, the Lord has blessed us and our every need has been supplied and each detail was well taken care of.

    Dear Peter and Dorothy,

    Our sympathies are with you. It is never easy to lose a parent no matter how old you are. We will pray for God's infinite comfort and solace at this time.

    In Him
    Don and Martie

    Thanks so much for all the updates - love reading them. So sorry to hear about your dad's passing, especially since you are unable to be with the family at this time. "May the God of all comfort" make Himself real to you at this time of testing that the trial of your faith "being much more precious than of gold that perisheth though it be tried by fire, might be found unto praise, honor and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ"

    In Prayer and With Love,

    Richard Brooks
