In the midst of VBS and Sunday ministry Sue and I tackled the traffic on the "freeway" - at times it took 30 mins to go 10 miles - we drove from Federal Way to Abbotsford, Canada to celebrate Dave and Vi McElhoes fifty years of marriage. It was a great night of reminiscing, laughter, the obligatory (but very good) slideshow and some great items from kids and grandkids. One special joy was seeing the first two great-grandkids of this awesome couple. I have know Dave and Vi since the 70's when David first came to Australia to minister. They are a great couple who always encourage Sue and I whenever we get together (which isn't often enough)! I guess as a single person, it was a real treat to see the extened family joining in honoring their parents and grandparents. There's a verse in Psalms that reminds us that "God sets the solitary (the loners) in families" and Dave and Vi have been one of several close friends who have opened their hearts and home to singles such as me. May the Lord continue to bless them and lead them into great times ahead!
