JUST A THOUGHT


The rain that falls on top of the mountain 
does not stay there to nourish the ground.  
From there it flows down into the valley.  
That's where the growth and the fruit is found.  


So it is with God's showers of blessings! 
If you set yourself high, 
up on a mountain, 
much higher than others you know,
you will get wet, you will get rained on 
but you won't grow.

Talk about showers!!!! Tennessee is getting more than its share today... Please pray for those people who are experiencing flooding..

We are on our way to the beach --so we just hope we'll have a home to go back to next Saturday.

BUT--it does take rain to help make the flowers grow... SO--I do know that we need it (just maybe not so much at one time)..

Beautiful picture...Is that gorgeous mountain near you????? WOW!!!!

Hugs,
Betsy

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. 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.

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 ...
