Update: Dad Holland in Thailand

Today was Dad's last day of heavy work in remote Southern Thailand (scroll down for background.)

For the last two weeks, they have been rebuilding huts for the families of Thai fisherman in a little village south of Krabi, Thailand. From all reports, he has had an extraordinary and rewarding adventure.

He and Mom have both spent their retirement years pouring themselves out in the service of others. Mom visits the three nursing homes in town each week, bringing the residents Gaither "Homecoming" videos and a listening ear.

A few years back, a old gentlemen in their church lost his wife and his eyesight in the same year. Right up until the day Lester Wray passed away, Dad was there every day to read his mail to him and help with replies and bills.

Over the years, they've taken in countless strangers and set an extra place at the table more times than anyone can count.

Anyone but God that is. He counts. And I suspect He has a special place at His table set just for them.

"Well done."
