November & December's Featured People

Happy Birthday to our dear Sharon who shows no signs of getting older! (Nov.3)

- And to baby William & James who were already posted on!

- and to Maurice on Dec.10 who is steadly getting wiser :)

- Also to Tante Marian and to Sarah (both Dec 30) - Sarah is already 6 and so excited about it- hopefully Betty will post


We also celebrated and grieved the Home-goings of Tante Aat Wybenga (Nov.25) - Mom's father's sister - after 97 years of faithfully sojourning on earth with many trials

(see last year's Dec post to see a picture)

and Tante Tena VanNoort, a dear lady in our church who was a distant relative of Mom's, on the evening of Dec.9. She lived a full (93), happy & healthy life of service until her last year during which she suffered greatly.

Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in You do we trust, nor find You to fail.
Your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end,
our Maker, Defender,
Redeemer and Friend!

But praise the Lord, they both found Him faithful to the end and now He has removed all pain and wiped every tear from their eyes! I can only imagine the glory and joy they are both experiencing along with all the others gone before (Oma Christina Snel has had 25 years with our Lord now -Nov.4)

O worship the King all-glorious above,
O gratefully sing His power and His love;
Our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.

This is the last time I visited her this year. We will miss her!

(I finally got Oct's special people posted so check back for that)
