Well, today, has been a hectic day. There has been too much bad news today so I am kind of reeling still. I definitely am not ready to deal with all of it. Regardless, though, I know NONE of what happened today surprised God. I know He is still in control, and I am still trusting Him.
The day started with finding out that my Uncle Will passed away. Now, I realize he was elderly; however, in my mind, he was still young. The last time I saw my Uncle Will in person, I was 16 years old! That’s when I went to The Netherlands with my Mom.
My Uncle Will was very special, not that my other uncles aren’t, but Uncle Will was a writer — a journalist, a photographer, and a published author! The last book he wrote was published last year at Thanksgiving time. The title was: Ossenisse. Bij de konijnen af. My Uncle Will used a pen name: J.W. Hofwijk
Unfortunately, I can’t read Dutch!
Joyce, Sorry to hear about your uncle. They can be a very large blessing in our lives.
Thank you Linda. I appreciate it.
