Bittersweet is definitely an appropriate word.<br />There will be lots of time for thank you's and goodbye's but we have also so appreciated you ministry with us. It's hard to truly put it into words.mkpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04451963139486831864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29817490.post-28457566897410637462013-01-14T18:32:13.319-05:002013-01-14T18:32:13.319-05:00Oh Wow!

You have been such a admirer of the youth and it has meant the world to not just myself but, to every single one of us. I also strive to be a great public speaker like you are week after week. Thank you so much for everything you have given me all through my teenage years and you will be greatly missed by all. <br /><br />KathrynAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785720943375905725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29817490.post-5652136306097888742013-01-14T10:54:36.876-05:002013-01-14T10:54:36.876-05:00All the best to you and Ruth.

Your support was a constant reminder that even though we are young we are still valued and important. Thank you for believing in us!!!

My prayer for your family is that you can move through the next few months before your departure with the peace in knowing you made the right decision, the excitement in looking forward, and the joy in realizing how blessed you are to still have so much to offer the community of Belleville. I hope they realize how fortunate they are. You will certainly be missed, but you have left an imprint on our lives that will not be forgotten. willowjakmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956445534792197232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29817490.post-84851275509322536832013-01-13T22:20:10.153-05:002013-01-13T22:20:10.153-05:00David, you'll be missed by all of us.

I just love children's time." Assured that children's time is part of most every minister's Sunday morning planning, she brightened and offered this advice to the pending search committee.."Maybe they should look for someone shorter...it must be hard for David to always have to crouch down to talk to us..' Ahh the wisdom and resiliance of youth...<br />There will be time for good byes so will just say that even in your departure you lead by example...reminding us that the easiest, most comfortable way is not our calling.....<br />Bowmanville's loss is Belleville's gain.....(I think I have said that before.) The ripples of your "cruise" with us will long be felt.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03791371242692378169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29817490.post-54164287382366290092013-01-13T14:49:04.967-05:002013-01-13T14:49:04.967-05:00David, you are going to be so missed.
