THOUGHTS OF THANKS

 

We had a wonderful day driving up north
to visit our daughter and her family!
I had forgotten how beautiful the trip is.
We left at 7 in the morning 
and arrived about 3:30. 
So thankful for a safe trip!
The weather was perfect.
Hugs and kisses when we arrived!
Had a delicious supper casserole 
our daughter prepared and have 
already checked out the whole town!
Wow, has it ever grown since we were 
here ten years ago!

Have a wonderful week-end everyone!
We'll be enjoying Canadian Thanksgiving 
with our loved ones.

It was SO nice to have you guys come. Always a treat to be surrounded with family for the holidays! We love how you can now have a mental image of our town and our home so that there's that connection of understanding when we bring up a story or share a detail of our lives, now you have that frame of reference. We love that.

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...
