HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We trust you all had a wonderful Christmas as you contemplated our Lord’s birth, and that this New Year of 2014 will hold showers of blessings for you and your family!
As we look back over 2013, although it was a difficult year for us, there is much to praise the Lord for, especially His faithfulness. We are grateful for a home in St. Thomas, a job for Roxanne, our kids’ Canadian citizenship, new friends, a good church which we have joined, new ministry opportunities unfolding, and special times with family. And even our cat! The Lord is good!
I, Roxanne, was challenged at the end of 2012 to read through the Bible in chronological order over 2013. I took the challenge and was truly blessed by His Word this year, finishing up with the last chapters with the turn to 2014. I encourage you all to take up the challenge for this year. Robert is joining me as we take on the challenge together this year. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16, 17)
As we look forward to 2014, we do so with excitement, knowing that God has a plan for us here in Canada. He is faithful and true to His promises. Be watching out for our next Grego Gazette as His plan unfolds!
“The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.” (Rev. 22:21)
With love and thankfulness,
Robert, Roxanne, David, and Julianna
