ABOUT TOMORROW



Thanks Evi for a great photo 
Just like a New Year -
we've turned the corner,
have left the past behind
with no idea what lies ahead!
Don't know where we'll stop
have no idea who we'll meet.
We're on the right train
and we're trusting our Conductor.
Enjoy the journey!


May you go into the New Year 2011
trusting that HE will always hold your hand!


Hope you enjoy a golden oldie!



And God said, 
“Let there be lights in the vault of the sky 
to separate the day from the night, 
and let them serve as signs 
to mark sacred times, and days and years,
Genesis 1:14

"to mark sacred times"~~~~hmmm, there are some words that seemed to read differently...need a bit of pondering. I'm so thankful that He already knows the way. 2010 has been incredibly HARD...seemed like 5 years worth of mess. But so thankful to know the One who knew it before it came, has it in hand and knows the way to come out of it all bright and shiny!

Hi Karin, that's the good news about beginning a new year. We can put away the baggage of the past ---and start over... There's something special about new beginnings. That's another reason I love all four seasons. They all have something new to bring us...

God Bless You, Karin in 2011.
Hugs,
Betsy

This song was one I wasn't familiar with, but I'm glad you shared it with us. I like your picture and thought for the new year -- very appropriate.

GOD CALLED HIM HOME

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 ...

ARTIFICIAL OR REAL?

Image
The pastor made comments about the lovely flower arrangements decorating the front of the church. He used them as an excellent illustration about being real! They looked deceptively real, but were in fact artificial, fake, and phony. Not all things, or people for that matter, are the real thing. Imitations are passed off as the real thing everywhere one goes. Fake flowers and fake people can deceive us, but thankfully not for long. Counterfeit coins or counterfeit Christians – neither can be taken at face value. Being totally acquainted with the real thing, however, will give us the discernment to know when something or someone is fake! As I mulled over this picture, other thoughts crowded my mind. In our sanctuary, there is no access to natural light streaming in through beautiful, wide or stained glass windows. Even a child knows that without natural light real plants cannot grow. The reason we don’t have too many windows is probably because we fear they would invite vandalism...

Here's a bouquet of orchids for you!! Everyone of us had a mother  and entered this life through a womb!  Let's honor all mothers and thank them for their part in giving us life. Feel free to make yourself  a copy of the poem on pretty paper and use it as a bookmark to remind you how much you are loved by our Heavenly Father! WOW! You’re a woman of worth Loved perfectly by the Lord! Be a woman of wisdom, Your life fully based on His Word, Be a woman of wealth, As you store up eternal treasure! Be a woman of warmth Giving and loving In bountiful measure. In valleys, as a woman of weeping Discover His wellspring of joy; With praises and singing and prayer The works of the devil destroy. Be a woman of wonder; How God is working In and through you! Let your wisdom and wealth , Bring glory to Him in all that you do. Be a woman of worship, He alone is worthy of praise! In everything giving thanks always Your voice of true freedom raise. ...
