Yesterday, Today, Forever-

We love fruit - all kinds  but hubby's favorite are the Bing Cherries! It's that fabulous time of the year again. Now if the kids had been around we would probably have put these on as earrings, then washed them, and then eaten them! That's a fun memory from my childhood. We only had red cherries - we only got to have Bing cherries when we  came to Canada.  I also love the Queen Anne cherries from Washington - they must be  coming soon! Look at all the doubles and triples!  I know, I know - quit playing with your food Karin! Sorry, but they're all gone now!  YUM!!

Love the father of our children!   He is a kind and generous man,  gentle with a subtle sense of humor.   He has led our marriage and family with love,  taking all his responsibilities seriously,  doing his very best.   He is a godly man with a noble character  and he is perfect for me!   HAPPY FATHER'S DAY HONEY!!

One day, Brother Christianson asked Steve to stay after class so he could talk with him. After class, Bro. Christianson pulled Steve aside and said, "You think you're pretty tough, don't you?" Steve's answer was, "Yeah, I do." ...

  This is really a story of yesteryears that  was published in the Edmonton Journal -  maybe it can help someone today! Every time I look at this pin I'm reminded of the work in progress ---- from a caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly! I'm not finished yet either! Many years ago I had always seen God as a punishing parent, purposely poised to trip me up. I was insecure, fearful and self-doubting. For years I lived behind walls of my own choosing. What an amazing, unexpected breakthrough when I found out that the love of God is the cure for the insecure, that his perfect love casts out all fear and his gift of faith gets rid of doubts. I was desperate for God to reveal his love to me. I needed a lot of healing. I was conscious of his awesome power as creator of the universe, as the righteous judge of all mankind, as the mighty God, who sacrificed his only begotten Son on Calvary for the salvation of the world, but I was not conscious of his love as my...
