HIGH LEVEL VISIT

A little cloudy and drizzly the late afternoon we drove 
to Hutch Lake 
to take some family photos.
I'll share on another post.


Loved the white aspen against the clear blue sky
that greeted us upon our arrival!



Tall, slender, perfect spruce
on the way to the store where our
grandson works!

Looking over the tree tops to see the 
North West Territories - well, almost -
just another 120 km from here.
The sun almost ready to set!



Abbi & Aidan tossing leaves!



The long drive home - so pretty!

Such an enjoyable array of photos of a family outing. I always enjoy viewing people's blogs when they includes trips like you've shared....with FAMILY. And the scenery was an added plus. The Aspen and the shadows created on the highway, well, that photo is priceless. That photo makes me feel all peaceful inside.

Welcome back!

Your autumn photos are beautiful. I love the gorgeous colors of the leaves on the trees and I love seeing children playing in the ones that have fallen.

Thanks for visiting my blog. I see you take some long road trips to meet up with your folks but seems the views along the way are spectacular. I think the aspens are quite a lovely picture, different from all the bright colourful ones. Have a great weekend:)

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...
