Sunday at Niagara and Monday becoming Canadians!

Some of the best days of our lives....!!!

Isn't it true that what sometimes may seem a huge discomfort often change around to become the greatest blessing? It was like that when we drove to the Brock monument on Sunday and the rain is coming down in buckets. Hundreds of people were huddled together under the two huge picnic pavilions near the outdoor stage where the service is to take place. Delicious ripe yellow peaches were offered for all to enjoy, and I washed the tiny hairs off the skin of the most tantlizing peach I had seen in years, under the water that streamed off the roof. How convenient small inconveniences sometimes are! It worked as well to wash the juice off my hands afterwards. It was still 30 minutes to the start of the service and I loved to introduce many of my new cycling friends to our dearest, most faithful friends ever that came to enjoy the Celebration rally with us. People started to sing at the stage, and one minute before the start of the service, the rain stopped! We could all sit outside enjoying the sun and huge shady trees with the crowd of 1,500, praising the Lord along with the great worship team lead by songwriter Dave Raakman, communications director for the tour. With so many people prayring for the tour, it must have been the Lord altering the weather so we could listen to His word undestracted. I've witnessed things like this happen several times during the tour, and it felt totally awesome to experience God alive amongst us in such vivid ways!
To be continued...shortly, about the citizenship day!
