HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!


Forty-six years we have walked side by side,
sharing a love that's amazing and true
If I were to do it all over again,
My sweetheart I know I'd surely pick you.

You were God's choice for me from the start
Our hearts were united to do His good will.
So whether we live 
on the highest of heights
or valleys of illness and pain, 
it is our desire
to follow Him still!

With all my love and one day at a time!

Happy Anniversary Karin. You two are beautiful people. Thanks for sharing that photo. I just love the goodness and kindness that I know radiates from both of you. No I am not trying to score brownie points I just know it from reading your posts for some time now. Blessings to my brother and sister in Christ.

Happy Anniversary. You have been married 2 years longer than we have. Hope you are both doing well now and feeling better. Something I have learned recently is to take one day at a time. I love your little love poem!

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...

GOOD FOR YOU

The desire to acquire and the stresses of successes Can be makings of a heart attack. The affliction of addiction, and the slaving after craving Show us what it is we truly lack. All bad stresses and life’s messes, all your hurries and your worries Leave down at the cross each day. Yield your will! Come, heart be still! In each test you can find rest, If you’ll listen and obey. True confessions of obsessions, facing fears and veils of tears On to freedom; letting go! Daily living with forgiving, in attitude of gratitude, Helps us to mature and grow. There’s no gain without some pain; there’s no life without some strife. Always God sends what is best! Turn your face towards His grace; He’s the One, God’s only Son. He’s the Rest for all the stressed. Close your eyes and realize, a breath of prayer and He is there! His loving Hand will guide you through! What joy and peace! Awesome release! A steadfast mind! Yes, you will ...
