You can count on God!

The week-end of June 21 and 22, 2008 has been an awesome, inspiring time for us as a family.

Lori and I have had the great privilege and blessing of being able to be in Winnipeg for my dad's last official Sunday not only of Waverley Baptist Church, but also the closing of full time ministry after 43 years as a pastor.

Attending the Saturday night banquet and Sunday morning service at Waverley were a host of people who represented each one of the churches dad has served in. For me it was an awesome experience because home is in each one.

But it was more than that: God was honoured and shown to be the Lord of our lives, churches and ministry.

My dad's last sermon on June 22 was titled "You can count on God!"

The main points were:
God is Great
God is Good
You can Trust God's Word

These powerful statements were acted out time and time again in our life as a family and in the churches where dad served. Obviously, God will continue to act this way in the future for my parents and for each one of us.

What a great time it was to celebrate God this week-end. What a great time to celebrate with family and friends. There were tears and a lot of laughter. The memories came flooding back to us and it was so special.

Thank you for your prayers and we look forward to seeing how God will continue to show His power, love and goodness to us and others.

Brad, Lori, Kayla, Brandon and Elizabeth Quiring
