THIRD AWARD!


All good things come in threes they say! Thank you Cathryn for this, the third award! It has been a joy and blessing to read your blog. To accept this award, I must mention who I received the award from and link back to her/him. Then I am to share the following:

"This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are extremely charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly written text into the body of their award."

I like best the sentence "Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated." There are so many interesting, creative, encouraging, educational and worthy blogs out there and I haven't even had the time to keep up with all of them!! Those who share their faith and help me grow in mine are a special blessing to me; some I've just started reading and look forward to reading more. Please go check them out too! I would like to pass this award on to the following eight bloggers at this time:

Betsy Markman
Lori
Betty
Rachel
Marianne
Angela
Betsy
Karen

Keep on blogging and blessing each other!

Congratulations Karin! They just keep on a'comin'! And that's great!

Someone said that blogging is the new re-creation of the old backyard fence where people (mostly women) stood around and shared the news between doing their work.

I say: this is one big backyard fence! But also, I think I like this venue very much. Like a real fence, it makes for nice neighbors. :)

Thank you Karin. That was so sweet of you to remember me in your list of eight. I have won a couple of awards before--and really struggle picking out specific people to send it to.. BUT--I'll do what I did last time and send it to anyone who would like to have it. There are so many great bloggers--it's hard to pick and choose.

Thanks again SO MUCH.
Hugs,
Betsy

Wow...congratulations on your award! :)

Thank you, Karin, for stopping by my blog. Thank you also, for the comment.

I would LOVE to visit the nursing home and play the harmonica for everybody there! I would LOVE to! But I am living in the Philippines right now...maybe one day I can head over to Alberta to do that, ok? :)

I'll subscribe to your blog so I can follow you. :)

Love,

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 ...

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 ...
