HEARTS OF LOVE





You have to have a heart of love
To love a heart that is in need.
Serve words of kind encouragement
And top it off with helpful deed.

Wait patiently and you should see
That pain-filled heart grows trust inside.
As love breaks down protective walls
No longer will it chose to hide.

Love works its wonders everywhere
And that’s how hearts are won!
Let’s join the heart of Christ our Lord
And love until Love’s work is done!

Karin-- I loved this, darling! :)

And the photo is really beautiful! :)

The beauty of the rose will never grow old! :)

Karin-- I understand what you are saying--but then--there are some people--their protective walls are just too thick and they don't want them knocked down-- :(

That makes me sad :(

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.

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.

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.

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 ...
