GOD AT WORK



God is working everywhere,
We just need to join him there!
His love extends to everyone!
There is so much to be done.


Often where we see a life,
Full of darkness, anger, strife,
Where we’d stay away in fear,
Jesus enters and draws near.


As we roll our eyes in scorn,
Over one messed up, forlorn,
Jesus calls him to repent,
For it is to those He’s sent.


Where we toss someone away,
Won’t give them the time of day,
Jesus builds a bridge of love
From the Father up above.


Jesus lifts a heart that’s weary,
Dries the eyes of one who’s teary,
Intercedes for all His own,
Brings them to the Father’s throne.


He wants us to show His Grace
Loving all the human race!
He wants you to be His Hands,
Loving here or distant lands!


There is so much to be done,
Here and there for everyone.
Yes, He’s working everywhere!
Thank you that you’ve joined Him here!

"God is working everywhere,

This is a beautiful poem, especially meaningful to me at this time, Jesus is the God of miracles, and miracles so beautiful, indeed! Jesus can take anger and all those sorts of things and show you that they are NOTHING at all... and they cease to exist! :)

My Love!

Peter’s mother had five children from a previous marriage; with Karl she had Klaus, Peter and Renate. Klaus, Renate and Peter at their last visit So glad Renate was able to visit for a few weeks before Peter died.  Karl immigrated to Canada in 1950, settling in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Martha and the children followed later. Tragically, Peter's mother, Martha, died of cancer shortly afterwards. After spending a year in the care of his Tante Emma, he was reunited with his father, who had remarried.

Welcome all BATW visitors !! Debbie does a wonderful job taking us to fascinating places around the world! Thank you so much! So, grab a hot chocolate, or that second cup and enjoy the visit. Here are some facts about the Province of Alberta, part of western Canada, where we've lived for 37 years! Thanks to Doris for this lovely winter scene! Didn't have my own! It's winter here now but we do get the four seasons and they are beautiful. Love this photo - thanks Evi! The days are getting longer and soon we will have spring again! The trees should have green leaves by Mother's Day! Alberta's license plates read, WILD ROSE COUNTRY. Click on the rose to read more about it! Alberta had it's centennial celebrations in September '05! We're still quite young! If a 21 year old had ten bucks to his name in 1905 he could buy 64 hectares - over 150 acres. Of course it had stipulations, but wouldn't that be fantastic nowadays. I'd even pay $1000.00, oh ...
