This might not seem like much, and maybe it isn't, but it definitely meant something to a special couple to us from Klemtu who are living in Vancouver. They have a young child with autism who has wandered away from the house. The old latch on the gate was broken and they couldn't install the new latch with the screwdriver they owned.
It was a simple matter for me. Just bring my screw gun and before you know it, latch installed. Now they don't have to worry as much about wandering. I know that means a bit to them.
Earlier in the day we shared a picnic together out In Abbotsford. It was a delightful day, bright and sunny down by the river. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Karen drove to the city to get them and then went shopping for food for the picnic. Scott made cupcakes and got other stuff together. At the park we sat and visited, went for a walk or two, sat and visited, ate some food and sat and visited.
Our hope is to see them actively put their faith in Jesus Christ in a way that is real and impactful in their daily lives.
Today though, it was shared time together with an opportunity to minister to a small but significant need they had in their family life.
PS- Jacqueline was the very first Klemtu kid to come live with us, almost eighteen years ago as a 17 year old. Boy we've known each other a long time!
