God's Goodness

The Lord has truly been good to me. I have so many wonderful things to be thankful for. I have
been blessed with a wonderful husband. As I ponder about Liz's loss, my heart grieves for her for
the things she will never have with her late husband for only 16 short month's. God help us to not question you. In 1981 my father of only 43 short years was taken due to cancer of the pancreas.
I still miss him more than words can say. My four children never got a chance to meet this man
who was so important to me and yet connected to them in many ways. It was hard for me, only a few days away from having my first child, yet I had to say God let me not question your ways. I will however see him later as 5 months before my dad passed on, I had the honor of leading my dad to the Lord. See, I will see him later, just like Christians wife (Liz) and all of their family as well. That is reassuring to me, just as it is to them. Still, it is a loss that causes us the grieve. God said in the Word, however, there is a time for grieving. We grieve with Liz and the families too. Our God is always worthy to be praised. God is always there to be found. Our God is omnipresent.
We will hold on to the Lord and to the Word of the Lord and not be ashamed for this. God you are our God in all things.

Life is quite busy for Dave and I these days. We are busy with some good stuff though. Like usual my hubby is working hard
and doing a fine job with it I might add. We are busy with our
children as their lives are all changing too. They are all moving
on in marriages and we are very happy and excited about that.
Dave and I are quite involved with all these plans too. It really
is fun, but it is also quite a bit of work and costly too, I might add.


We are also busy trying to get Kayla and Jesse settled in their
house for the winter. They have a lot of things to do before we
are done. I am quite confident it'll will get done. Dave is on to
this so you all know it will be taken care of .

We are awaiting yet another LaFaver/ Mackey wedding on the 8th of December. Wow, we really are... Already, yes. already...
Julie and Robert have done most of the planning and the have
done a really great job. Looking forward to seeing many of our
family and friends there. It will be a great time. God has many
good things in store for them, we are sure of that.

We are all awaiting the return of the Nordberg's with their
daughter Elizabeth after the terrible loss of her beloved husband Christian. Truly this is a time of mourning for all...
We are so sorry for their loss. We are also lost for words. We
can only love you and pray for you, and we do. We are all so
sorry for this terrible thing that has happened to you all... The
Bible tell's us there is a time for mourning and now is that time.
Now is the time to lean on the Lord and not unto our own understanding. God is there to lean on, alway's...

November 12th, 2007

To all of my friends. I finally have a new laptop and I am trying to learn to do things such as this on my computer. Please bare with me as I am learning. I already have messed up and have two
of these accounts under two different names, this is the one I will keep.

Finally, a day of rest to a degree. Most people know that our lovely daughter Kayla had a beautiful reunion of vows Saturday night at the Lookout in Massena. Pastor Mike officiated this lovely event and I might say he did a wonderful job and we where all so blessed by his heart and soul that
he put into this special day for Kayla and Jesse and all of our family members. I have heard many
positive comments about how blessed people where by the sharing done by Pastor Mike. We also
had a time of prayer by parents and pastors and leaders of the church. God was there. Thanks to
all of you who could and would be there, your support was more important than you know. We do
serve a good God.

Off I go today to go to Watertown with my mom to a doctor's appointment. Who said life get's less busy just because your children have moved out. Dave and I are happy to say that we see
quite a bit of most of our children even though they don't live at home anymore. We have a
daughter who lives away from here and her and husband have 3 beautiful girls and we do not
get to see them much, but we love them all and look forward to seeing them when we do.

Our next event is on December 8th when our son Robert will marry Julie Mackey. Dave and
I are very excited about this Wedding. We both love Julie and she is a delightful addition to
our family. Dave and I are excited to see what God is going to do in their lives. They will be
moving into our home on 310 in Norfolk. It is a really busy season for our family but we are
able to pull together and work through it all and actually have fun doing it. I am proud to say our children have pulled together to help our moves and special events be very memorable to us. We love our children very much, all of them...God is so good. Let us all serve Him well....

Today was a very fun day. I got my new laptop computer. I am having a really difficult time with learning how to operate it and to understand it. Nancy French came and tried to help me. My husband and I have made a major change in our lives and we have officially moved into the Towm of Madrid. Our son Robert moved into our home in Norfolk and he will be living there in
December after the marriage of his soon to be wife, Julie Mackey. Dave and I are looking forward to Roberts marriage. We are excited to see what God has for Rob and Julie. We love them. Dave and I are adjusting to our new home and location. Our daughter Kayla will be renewing her marriage vows on November the 10th with Jesse Morrow and we are having a celebration with them, looking for God to move in their lives and expecting good things to come.
Our son Nathan will be joining in marriage March 1st 2008 with Sarah Rowland as well. Yes, Dave and I have alot going on. We are also looking forward to what God has for Nate and Sarah. Life is very interesting for us right now and very busy. We look forward to hearing from you all.
