Canada Trip. At Niagara Falls we experienced firsthand the roaring and
power of the falls. We marveled at the super
abounding and never-ending flow of water.
It is a display of the Niagara Falls of God’s grace. Not only did the Sun pierced through the clouds, rainbow ensued.
At the Basilica Notre Dame Ottawa, it was -11F outside, we quickly found shelter there after a short 10 minute walk. The door was open for anyone who would come. We welcomed the warmth and the great solitude. There, we did a family devotional while looking at the statue of Jesus who was pierced on his side.
At the Canadian War museum, we saw history of war and learned how Canada came to be. We remembered the men and women who tirelessly and fearlessly defended their country. There, we read an incredible tale of a soldier who was protected by a bullet with a bible in his breast pocket. Christ the ultimate soldier took on the bullet of death so that we can live.

At Notre-Dame Basilica of Montréal, we saw a light show, first of its kind, called "Aura". The Basilica not only came to life but it was on steroid of color. Reminded me of Luke 19:40, "even rocks cry out". All the earth worships and sings praises to God.
After a week of wearing layers upon layers of clothes and tired
of being cold, we found ourselves in Montreal.
There, snow, soft like cotton, fell from the sky, making everything layers
of white. God not only can carry us
through the storm but He can make beauty in the storm.
Last but not least, the purpose of our trip was our cousin
Dixon and his bride Chloe’s wedding. We
were greeted by family near and far. As
we looked at the couple and their glamour photos, we were reminded of how much more beautiful
we will be when we see Christ, our groom, and what a joyful celebration it will
be.
