We have much to be thankful for this fall. The blessing of good health has come into sharp focus since Sharon began working at Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital as an intern (part of her chaplaincy education process). The hospitals in West Michigan are packed with struggling COVID patients and exhausted staff. At her other job (as a Heartland Hospice chaplain), Sharon has the opportunity to offer God’s love to hospice patients who are spending their last days and months at home or in a facility. We understand better the fragility and tenuousness of life and breath in these troubled days. Every day we can love and be loved is a blessing. This fall Zach has been back on the road, visiting churches and ministries throughout the United States. Lord willing, he will resume international travel this winter. The stresses and pressures of ministry have been heavy, but God has been faithful. Hannah has enjoyed life and academics at Calvin University this fall as part of the Honors program. We give thanks for this good transition. Isaiah and Vivian continue as sophomores at Grand Rapids Christian High School this fall. In a few short years they will be out of the house. Our youngest, Esther, is in seventh grade this fall and growing fast. She is involved in everything, enjoying friends and sports. May you experience God’s faithful presence this Christmas!!
