YUP, IT'S HERE!


Winter's start date is supposed to be
December 21st every year. 
I think Winter didn't get the
memo and came early - again!
There's already more snow
than what is on the photo!
Snow-removal equipment was here
yesterday afternoon to clear the
parking lot - so we could get out.

It has been gloomy and overcast 
for the past 3 weeks already
with only the occasional 
peak-a-boo by the sun. 

Can you tell I need sunshine?????

I am THANKFUL for our lovely view
through all the seasons of the year, 
but  Lord, please help me cope with winter!

Winter seems to be coming fast to so many places, Karin... We had some cold weather last weekend --but this week has been fairly nice.

Great pictures... I am one of those crazy people who LOVE winter... It's the time that I can work on our Family History--which I love to do and don't have time for the rest of the year!!!

Hugs,
Betsy

It truly looks beautiful but I know it makes getting around treacherous. It is 79 here in GA and John is across the street helping a neighbor repair a boat seat.
Wishing you both a blessed weekend.

The snow is beautiful,but it does make life a little more difficult. We had a good layer as well.It is still clinging to the trees.

I like sunshine but I LOVE cloudy days. Our daughter moved to Colorado and she has already had two snows. We had none last year but I'm hopeful for this year to see some of the pretty white stuff falling during the day. I have several friends like you. One even got some kind of special lamp....it makes her happy to sit by it and SOAK in the light. May He reveal Himself to you in new ways this winter...joy!

We've had cold weather, but not the snow. Hopefully winter will provide some sunny days for you to highlight the beautiful view you have.

Too early for winter! Ha -but it's cold here too. No snow yet.
Your pics are lovely, but I hear you. Let's keep the snow away a little longer. Hope you get some sunshine soon!

I think snow is beautiful and looks so pretty in photos. I saw it when I lived in TN for a few years.
I live back in the tropics in Australia again, so only get to see these lovely scenes on the net. We can't have everything can we? You are going into winter while we quickly approach summer. With not much rain so far this year, we may have Bush fires.. Hope not. Blessings to you.

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...
