BFF

That's what popular society today calls "Best Friends Forever"... and that's the best way to describe the friendship Dad has enjoyed with his friend and spirirutal brother, Henri Larrieu. They met when they were seven years old, and now they're eighty eight.. and still counting. When they were kids, they went to Deerfoot Lodge and that's where God took hold of their hearts, and together, they committed their lives to serving Him. After over 50 years of eldership and every kind of ministry leadership, their bond remains strong.

Yesterday (Saturday, March 15), Henri was able to visit Dad through the courtesy of his grandson, Matt Pizzulli. What a joy it was to watch to watch these BFF's fellowship! Thanks, Matt, for bringing your Grandpa down... sacrificing a whole day for your grandpa to see Walter again. That's a ministry unto the Lord!

They stayed for dinner, and you can see what a spread we all had! The food is wonderful, and Dad's eating better, now that he's in familiar territory. It was good to see him up and out of the room... in his own clothes! Hospital gowns are not befitting him!

We plan to spend some of Easter Sunday with Mom & Dad, so we'll report more on that later, but until then, we wanted to get these pictures to you of Dad & Henri. We know that many of you know both brothers, and these would be an encouragement.

Thanks for "tuning in". We'll have new "episodes" to come.

In the mean time, your prayers are still valued and always appreciated. Mom wants us to let you know how much she appreciates your prayers and interest. Who'd have thought that just checking out a website could be a ministry to someone?!

God bless & keep you - - and get pads for your knees - - we still need them knelt in prayer!
