THE SEASONS


SUMMERTIME IS ALMOST OVER
EVERYTHING TURNS AUTUMN GOLD


PRETTY SOON THE SNOW WILL FLY
TURNING NATURE BLEAK AND COLD.


EVEN THOUGH WINTER IS FREEZING
MY HEART’S ATTITUDE STAYS WARM

 
SUCH BEAUTY MAKES MY SPIRIT SING!
EVERY DAY OF CRISP COLD WINTER


RETURNS ME TO THE JOY OF SPRING!



He changes times and seasons; 
he sets up kings and deposes them. 
He gives wisdom to the wise 
and knowledge to the discerning.  Daniel 2:21

(thanks to my Evi and Melissa for the photos!)

This is great, what a wonderful idea! It gives me an idea to copy this, do four pictures representing the seasons!! But I love your poem to go with the pictures! My favorite is playing in the leaves, an outstandingly joyful image!!!

Isn't it wonderful that there are four seasons? Life would get pretty boring if we only had one season all year long. That's the way I felt living in Texas... It was almost like summer year round... I hated it --and missed my mountains and the seasons so much... Thank Goodness I moved back.
Hugs,
Betsy

Cool photos and poem. And the verse was perfect to match the poem. I love fall and even winter, but fall is probably my favorite season.

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 ...
