Yesterday the road to Saskatoon beckoned. Or rather, a sick friend.
Donovan Gobeil is in need of transplanted lungs. He has had Cystic Fibrosis. Since birth and now at 20 he’s on a respirator with an infection. The infection needs to be cleared and a transplant given. Otherwise the disease could claim his life soon.
So, we headed to Saskatoon. Upon arrival we found that he was heavily sedated and unable to respond to a visit. Instead we visited with his brother and sisters — and with the parents, Beth and Laurier.
These are not easy times.
For me, I have been helped by another set of friends who came to do a concert. What enjoyment! And a needed uplift. Saturday morning I had cried as I prayed over our breakfast — saddened by Donovan’s current state. Rick Lett, our concert giver, knows the family well. His presence was a real encouragement — and his music (accompanied by two of his children) was special.
God is good! Even in the tough times.
