Day 9 the final stretch

We have had a tiring day.  Arriving at Terry's store we were amazed at the activity.  It appears that La Bonne Nouvelle is a happening book store.  While we didn't move many books, customers did stop by and chat and that is the beauty of an author signing event.  Days like this remind us of the reasons behind writing.  There are so many people out there seeking truth.  If our books can in some way answer that need it is indeed a blessing.

I have to say that the sense of community in Moncton is amazing.  Having come from small towns it is familiar to me but it isn't often one sees this kind of community in such a big city.  We have also been blessed by the work that is being done for Christ within the various churches.  We talked to several different pastors today and were fascinated by the street work and the large events that are taking place in abundance.  It was refreshing for me to see this kind of community devotion.  Kudos to the Moncton churches.

On another note, we are looking forward to hearth and home, Fay and I are.  It is true that in a marriage the two become one and we are both missing our other halves.  The hour count down has begun to our departure.  As of this posting we have ten hours to go before we begin the arduous journey home.  Have we accomplished anything on this trip?  We have come to realize that the accomplishments are not ours to be concerned about.  That is God's worry.  Have we acted in obedience?  I can only answer for me and I have the certainty that 'yes' I have done what God has led me to do.  His word says 'Commit thy ways to the Lord...' We have done so and it is his responsibility to see it through to his end.  Knowing that, I feel confident that this has been an excellent tour. 

So tomorrow is our last day here in friendly Moncton.  Fay and I have decided it is to be a waffle day.  Meaning a little spoiling at breakfast is most certainly called for.  It has been a joy to meet the believers God has put in our path.  My prayer is that God continues to bless this city through the hands of those who are working so hard to further his kingdom.
