If you pick up a pen every day and you write down what you're grateful for, when you are in crisis, your soul will have a memory of what it is supposed to do. How can I give thanks to God in the midst of this valley and trial? Because ultimately what we need...can we position our soul to remember the truth? God is always good and I am always loved. Because when difficult things happen and the waves hit us, what the enemy of our souls can hiss: Is God really good now? Is God really kind? Does God really love you when this tragedy happens twice in your life? When you have a memory muscle, a gratitude muscle that knows that in crisis I keep giving thanks, what that means is that gratitude muscle will mean that you are strong in joy. And that if you let...don't let anything go ahead and steal your joy, because the joy of the Lord is your what? Your strength. So gratitude and joy are intimately connected right there at the Lord's Supper.

In spite of the early loss of our daughter's life, somehow God was present there, and it was always amazing to me. Something would come up that would remind me of that and somehow get me over. In the end, death doesn't win. Obviously, it's a statement of faith. There's a lot of scientists that would say they can't prove that, but I think for those of us who have walked this trail of spirituality and having experiences of various kinds, there's good evidence that we're not making it up, that something's really happening that's going to shape our lives and give us the energy and the faith to walk through these hard situations and see the light rather than just the darkness.

Listen to Dave and Diane Toycen being interviewed by seasoned journalist and long-time friend Lorna Dueck. There are many interesting lessons on global and community care we could learn from Dave and Diane, but in this intimate interview, they talk about their journey of grief. They said their final goodbye to their only daughter Jocelyn in 2022 and to their daughter-in-law Linda in 2015. Listen to Dave and Diane share their story about how they as parents cope with grief and great loss.

Dave and Diane Toycen are well-known in many Canadian circles, in part because of where their careers took them. Dave Toycen served with World Vision for 42 years – and was President of World Vision Canada for 19 years, a season which saw World Vision’s dramatic growth in efforts to serve the world’s poor. In 2018, Dave received one of the highest honours Canada can bestow - the Order of Canada, in recognition of his outstanding lifelong achievement, commitment to community, and distinguished service to the nation. Newly retired, Toycen’s current interests focus on effective leadership and governance to create vital, accountable, creative organizations and businesses. He has a continuing passion for the plight of the poor, especially children.

Diane Toycen also served as a community builder and is best known for her 24-year role as Director of Programming and Parish Life at Trinity Church Streetsville, Mississauga. Diane led a dynamic season for the growth of that church, helping establish Streetsville Church as a nation-wide beacon for how to renew and create witness and spiritual care in the Anglican Church. She retired in 2014 and continues to be active in various leadership roles.

I went to a Christian bookstore, and I bought a Bible and an exhaustive Concordance and went back out to my car. And before I could get out of the parking lot, I just sat there before I even turned on the engine and looked up some things that I thought should be there and they weren't there. And I could hear God say, you can fall away with all your man-made beliefs, or you can grab onto me and never let go. And I grabbed on that day. And so to me, do I see God at work in what I write and in the things that my career, the places where I've gone as an author, as a speaker, now as a filmmaker? 100%, it's all Him. I really feel strongly, and I believe I write for Him, through Him, by His power and for His glory. So, I see miracles constantly.
