Go Caleb!

31 years ago God blessed us with with our first child, Vernon Caleb Dyck.  What a joy it has been to be parents.  Our children and grandchildren have added so much joy to our lives.  Although we invested a lot into our children, we made many mistakes as well.  We are thankful for the grace of God and his work in our children's lives.  

Caleb, it is a joy to see the Godly man, husband, and dad that you are.   Life has been very full and busy for you, yet you are making great choices in pursuing God and all that he has for you and your family.  Keep walking with the Lord, and growing in Him.  We are cheering you on, and look forward to seeing how God will continue to use your life to impact this world for Christ.

Family Day

We are in Florida right now attending some meetings,  Because of how tight the meetings were packed together it left very little time to stop in to see our kids.  However, we did squeeze in a few hours with Glenn & Ruth, then we quickly drove to Zachary & Elisha's to spend a few hours with them.  Although we wish we would have had a LOT more time with all of them, it was so fun to have to see them again and enjoy making a few more memories together.  Ruth took us to a Venezuelan food truck.  So we were able to combine two fun things with enjoy:  Great Venezuelan food while enjoying Great Company.  Zachary treated us to Peruvian chicken which was super yummy! So in less then 24 hours we saw our North Carolina kids and were on the road again.   That was way too quick but oh so fun!

A Quarter-Century

Twenty Five years ago God blessed us with our 4th child, our precious daughter, Ruth Emily.  In the blink of an eye she has gone and grown up on us.  She has added so much joy into our lives and family.   Her vibrant personality made sure there was never a dull moment in our house when she was around.  We thank the Lord for the tender hearted person she is.  

Happy 25th Birthday Ruth! We thank the Lord for you and your life.  It is a joy to see how the Lord has used you to touch so many peoples' lives.  We are cheering you on as you continue to embrace the new opportunities before you.  May God continue to use you to impact this world for Christ!  Have a VERY Happy 25th Birthday!  We love you!

An Ordinary Man

Today I am celebrating the life of an ordinary man.  This man hasn't found the cure for any disease.  He has not written any amazing songs or books.    He hasn't climbed the highest mountain.  He is an ordinary man.   But how I thank the Lord for letting an ordinary imperfect woman like me, meet and marry an ordinary man like Vern.   He has used this ordinary man in so many amazing ways.  How I thank the Lord that he is still in the job of using ordinary people.  Happy 53rd Birthday Vern!  Thanks for being a wonderful father and amazing grandfather.  Thanks for being my husband and for walking down this road of life together with me. You have turned ordinary days into a lifetime of precious memories.  May God continue to use you to reach this world for Christ.
