As we wave goodbye to 2005, and begin the journey down 2006, we leave many, many memories in that blessed year. To sum it all up in a few sentences, the Lord changed our lives, hearts, even our minds, dramatically in that year, mingling pangs of sorrow with smiles of joy. When we thought we were all alone, He blessed us so richly with precious families who reached out to us in love . . . creating friendships we wouldn't trade for the world.
It feels as if the Lord has made this year into a roller coaster ride of change, the only requirement being to trust Him!
We celebrated our New Years Day with the Haymond family. Interestingly, they had recently been on a missionary trip to Argentina the same time that we were gone in Texas and Michigan! As pictures were explained, and the highlights of each of our trips brought out, it was wonderful to see the Lords work, and the clear evidence of His grace.
Our weekend was filled with tense games of Dutch Blitz, (we finally have some cards! :-) visiting a hundred miles a minute, laughter, walks, singing and music making, and overall great fellowship.
May this New Year bring growth, praise, and a deeper knowledge and understanding of our Lord!

What great memories we have with the Parish family from 2005! May God extend His mercy and grace to us all in 2006. It's good to hear you testify of God's goodness yet again.
I fear the Parish family has gone from the blogging world...will they ever return?
Nikkae :)
Yes, it seems that our blog is a bit delinquent. (12 days instead of 10 days. :) I'll see if I can persuade Simon to post about his boat. He's been doing some of the preliminary float tests. Meanwhile, I'll post a quote.
