NEW YEAR DAWNING - 2010


Not sure who took this picture of the new day dawning!

 

To all our family and friends -

Wishing you joy bubbling like a fountain, 

peace flowing like a river, 

and love as deep and wide as an ocean! 

Be blessed again in 2010! Hugs!!!


A bright New Year before us
Each day a brand new leaf.
Let’s treasure every blessed moment.
Let’s bring each other joy, not grief!


New hopes we wish to have fulfilled.
New challenges we’ll have to face.
We’ll have another chance to love
Our fellow man of every race.


Let’s take with us the memories
Of yesteryear; the ones that made us glad.
Let’s leave behind to rest in peace
The ones that made us mad or sad.


It is my heartfelt, deepest prayer,
That God would bless each one,
With perfect peace and love and joy
Through Jesus Christ, His Son.

Thank You Karin for your wonderful words... We truly are blessed--and I'm excited about 2010. Someone asked if I made resolutions. I do not--but IF I did, I'd ask God to give me as good a year as I have just had...

Happy New Year.
Hugs,
Betsy

Karin, this was a good poem my friend! I really love the thought of starting fresh in the New Year and living the life we need to be living in Christ.

A life that is filled with love for our Lord and our fellow man.

Thanks!

Have I ever told you that I really like the title of your blog? And now, at the beginning of a new year ... we can rest assured in our God who does not change and will continue to go with us each step of the way. Happy New Year!

Thanks for blessing and encouraging me with your kind comments.

Anneliese, the title of my blog is the Scripture verse hubby and I received from our pastor as a verse for our married life! Of this one thing we have always been certain, though the years have brought numerous changes!

Thanks Bernie for suggesting a poetry book, but I wouldn't know how to go about it. I just want to bless others who may like them.

Betsy, I've never made resolutions in my life, having always known myself too well that I wouldn't keep them, lol.

Hugs to you all!

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 TO ALBERTA!!

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 ...
