THANKFUL FOR......







A warmer week-end – a welcome break from the deep freeze! 
Yesterdays temp was a few degrees in the plus 
and we had snowmelt on the streets.



Loved the warmth and brilliance of the sun yesterday 
and hope for more of the same today. 
She should be rising in another hour!



Enjoy watching the phases of the moon
– it’s outside my living room window every morning 
and it is traveling higher in the sky - 
just a few clouds hiding it occasionally!



A supper date with my cousin and hubby – 
great to reminisce and get caught up – 
hadn’t seen each other since just before Christmas! 
Please pray for F. as he faces surgery on January 31.



God’s provision of our daily needs! 
Please pray for jobs for our son and his wife – 
lots of resumes have been sent out but responses have been slow.



Medications that are helping our daughter-in-law, 
who has ankylosing spondylitis, 
cope much better with her pain. 
Thank you Lord!



Walking hand-in-hand with hubby wherever we go!


The Lord’s grace and mercy, which is new every morning!


Hymns, like How Great Thou Art, that echo in my heart so often!


Learning more about prayer.

I'm a big cry-baby anymore and there's no hymn or church service where I don't cry...it's all too awesome to comprehend.

Yes, the weather's been nice - sunshine during the day, but still a bit frosty at night - perfect! Wish it would stay this way all year. NO BUGS!!!!

I've not heard of your DIL's condition, but am glad to hear the midicines are helping. Did I know who F is, your cousin maybe? The jobs are for your family who just moved here, right? I will be praying for all of these.

The hair stands up on the back of my neck when my hubby sings How Great Thou Art, and we sing it often at the Aged Homes. I was so blessed when a Sudanese staff member knew every word.

Wonderful thankful list, Karin.

Blessings, Jan

Oh I can understand how you are so very thankful for the weather change. And watching the moon outside your window [I envy you that...we've had cloudy evenings for weeks...but thankfully that keeps the temperatures from a hard freeze]

You're inspirational Karin.

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 ...
