Do you ever feel as if your prayers are not being answered?  When they are answered how does that make you feel?  Recently out of the blue, God definitely sent some great answers for the Lockhart family.  Thanks for your help.  A month ago, Chrissy started her new job as Executive Director for a crisis pregnancy centre (aidtowomen.ca) in Toronto...

“Yup! It’s leaking!” I declared.  I had discovered the small mat on the floor beside our upstairs bathroom toilet was wet.  The following Saturday Gary put on his plumbing hat.  He pulled out the toilet and replaced the old ring with a new one.  That water problem was quite easily solved; however, we did find minimal water damage on the ceiling...

Recently, our neighbour came knocking at our back door.  When I answered it, she pointed to the end of our backyard.  It looked like a green wall had been built across the back of it as another portion of the Manitoba Maple tree had fallen down.  This straggly, softwood tree has been disintegrating over the years and now our yard had opened up quite a bit taking...

Any way, we were able to get Pax Lovid, the...

“Did you see that?” Gary exclaimed to me as we were standing near our kitchen window.  He has been restoring a pair of heritage doors through which we enter our two-story outside building over the past few weeks. One door was longer than the other which left a 3-inch gap under the left one.  It’s still a work in progress.  All of a sudden, he spied a...

So, what is a traditional, life-changing event that frequently happens at this time of the year particularly for our children and grandchildren, nieces and nephews?  That would be graduations.  Out of our eleven grandchildren this year Gary and I have five graduating from university, high school or elementary school.  We are very proud of all their accomplishments. ...
