A Special Sunday

We experienced a God filled Sunday morning.  Les was invited to "speak" at his friend Ben's church.  Ben has been preaching on Job, so Les' words fit right in with Ben's message.

After the sermon, a sweet girl sang "Oceans".  When Ben had told Les she was going to sing this song, Les showed Ben that this song was on Les' list of favorites.  She did a BEAUTIFUL job.  And then Jeff walked to the front of church and wanted to share how he has known Les - meeting Les as a UPS driver on his route.  They realized they were both Christians and then realized they both knew Ben - it was a very cool story.  Jeff and his wife have had some medical struggles in their life with their sweet boy Jensen.  Jeff had some powerful words and we so appreciated his sharing.  It's so amazing to see how God weaves friendships and stories throughout our lives!

Ben and Les have been friends for over 19 years.  He was not a pastor when they became friends - just a crazy Canadian, eh?  He was single when they became friends.  It's been our privilege to witness his marriage and now Ben and Kate are raising two fine young men.  Les walked with Ben through his journey to become a pastor.  What a great thing for Les to have a pastor as one of his best friends as he walks this journey!  Ben has been invaluable to Les and we thank God for having Ben in our lives.

Thanks again to our friends, family and neighbors who came to church Sunday morning to support Les.  We truly are blessed!
