FIRST & FOREVER LOVE

The golden rays played on the mirror of the lake
I sensed you come and sit quietly beside me at the shore.
The morning breeze gently caressed my hand. Or was that you?
It was then I knew.

You were the one!
The darkness quickly vanished with the rising sun.
My heart danced with wild abandon. I felt like a little girl.
Why, I was 11, just a child!

Your very presence pierced my soul.
I knew you could read my every thought, yet I was not ashamed.
I felt your arms encircle me in a tender embrace
You promised never to leave me!

I never felt so light, so free, and perfectly complete!
You whispered lovingly what you had freely done for me.
I gave you both my hands and my heart to be yours forever.
I needed you; you saved me!

My love for you has grown since our first encounter by the lake.
You have kept all your promises.
The richness and fullness of your forever love is my greatest joy!
Jesus, Lover of my soul

Hi Karin, thanks so much for stopping by TGMT and leaving a comment. All we can ask is that the Lord bless us with His wisdom and truth so we can teach our children just how wonderful He is. In your case, your grandbabies! Please visit again, I'd love to glean from your wisdom and what worked with your children, and how you see them passing the legacy down to their children. God's blessings!

GOD CALLED HIM HOME

My Love! Hans Peter Ristau  November 24, 1939 - May 21, 2013 EULOGY presented by his son Dr. Kenneth Andrew Ristau  Hans Peter Ristau was born to Karl and Martha Ristau on November 24th, 1939, in Berlin, Germany, only two and half months after the start of the War. 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. His step-mother Anna’s deep personal faith led the family into the community at the German Mission Baptist Church, where the entire family was baptized on November 6, 1955. Foreshadowing God’s ...

ARTIFICIAL OR REAL?

Image
The pastor made comments about the lovely flower arrangements decorating the front of the church. He used them as an excellent illustration about being real! They looked deceptively real, but were in fact artificial, fake, and phony. Not all things, or people for that matter, are the real thing. Imitations are passed off as the real thing everywhere one goes. Fake flowers and fake people can deceive us, but thankfully not for long. Counterfeit coins or counterfeit Christians – neither can be taken at face value. Being totally acquainted with the real thing, however, will give us the discernment to know when something or someone is fake! As I mulled over this picture, other thoughts crowded my mind. In our sanctuary, there is no access to natural light streaming in through beautiful, wide or stained glass windows. Even a child knows that without natural light real plants cannot grow. The reason we don’t have too many windows is probably because we fear they would invite vandalism...
