Memories to Cherish


In memory of Mom and Grandma who died to this life and was born into eternal life 13 years ago yesterday, September 25, 1994.

"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him."
The Race for the Cure is this week Saturday. Anyone who wants to run or walk in her memory is welcome to meet in front of the stage at Rivertown Mall before the race starts. You can register at the mall in front of the theater on Friday evening.

Retreat, Connect, Relax....

I checked this out for you, and this is what I found.
"This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine!"
"I'll fly away...hallelujah, by and by, I'll fly away!"
"Bound together, like sound and music, like flowers and rain.....
"Down the years on a thousand highways, we'll find each other time and time again!' Thank you, family, for all you are!

Retreat 2007





End of summer... & good stuff to come!


Lubbers Fam - On behalf of Randy, Kathy, Anna, Jaden & Nadia: THANKS for helping us end the summer EXACTLY as we had hoped! Fun, sun, good food and drinks, great weather, and an amazing family!!! We could not have enjoyed the final four days of summer in any other way that could have been a better ending to God's best season in Michigan.


It is awe inspiring to have watched the cousins who are younger grow into aduthood with great jobs and watch others grow into young families. (way to go Mike!!!)


For those of you who were not able to attend, you were in our prayers, and each of you was missed. :(


Once again, THANKS for helping us enjoy the kingdom of God in all of it's goodness. (if only the entire family was present - including grandma - it would have been perfection)


On behalf of the r.buist family - WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!


----> And now we are on to school. It was with a bit of tenderness and great joy that Anna began the 3rd grade and Jaden the Pre-K this morning. As we walked from the parking lot to the school, I said to Jaden, "Do you know what I tell Anna every morning when I bring her to school?" And Anna replied, "Love people!"


So after a great weekend of relaxation, there is more work to be done. :)
