God blesses those people
who depend only on him.
They belong to the kingdom
of heaven!

Care of Wild Animals

By Debra Ann Milne (our youngest daughter)

Deb asked if I would post this on my blog sometime. I just received it this evening – after getting home from a busy, busy day – so this seemed like a good evening to do it.

If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

1 Corinthians 13:1 (New Living Translation)

On Being a Mother and Grandmother

You watch me when I travel and when I rest.
You are familiar with all my ways.

Psalm 139:3 (GOD’S WORD Translation)

One More Photo Needed For the TFC Brochure

So, One More Photo Shoot – April 30

Shortly after getting back to my home office on Monday afternoon, Lynn called to ask if I could take one more photo for the brochure on which she is working.

I was glad to oblige, so the next morning Bunny, Dan, Lynn, and I met at a local restaurant for breakfast.

It was easy taking pictures of these two, and especially fun to meet Dan (son of Chris) who works at the International Office.

Dan played the part of a truck driver for the brochure photo.

I found it interesting that on the way home from the office I came upon this convoy of four trucks – on a country road. Yes, four – two in the background and two in the foreground.

They don’t know that I LOVE truck drivers, and many times PRAY for them when I see them on the road.

I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ will be kind to you and will bless your life! Philippians 4:23 (CEV)

Think about what is good and worthy of praise.

Think about what is true and honorable and right and pure and beautiful and respected.

Philippians 4:8 (Easy-to-Read Version)

The Goldfinches Are In Full Color

Beauty is something internal that can’t be destroyed.

Beauty expresses itself in a gentle and quiet attitude which God considers precious.

1 Peter 3:4 (GOD’S WORD Translation)

Photo Shoot at TFC’s International Office

Monday, April 29

I went to the International Office last Monday to do a photo shoot for a new brochure. Since I was early, I went to the shop to see what Cerwin was doing.

He was working on a donation box for the Calgary Chapel.

If you wonder what is happening to the construction process, the chapel has been at the paint shop for the past few weeks. Cerwin stopped in yesterday to see what is happening, and was pleased that it was sandblasted and primered. That means it will go to the lettering shop next week, and then after a few days will be back in TFC’s shop.

I went over to the office and found that everyone who works there was in the board room – having just finished prayer time.

Clockwise (starting on the left): Mike Hayden, Chris Salinger, Ruth Martin, Inge Koenig, Scott Weidner, Bunny O’Hare, Jeff Batzer, Jane Evans, and Lynn Kolb.

The photo shoot for the brochure began up the street at Jagtrux with Chaplains Jake Wise and Jay Schock.

Then we went back to the International Office for another set of pictures.

Boys will be boys! …and the one giving Bunny the rabbit ears is our distinguished president, Scott Weidner. (Of course a “bunny” needs rabbit ears.)  

Mike Hayden, Scott Weidner, Bunny O’Hare, Jay Schock, and Jeff Batzer.

Jay

When I stopped in Inge’s office for a card reader (to give the photos to Lynn), she asked me to take a picture of her pretty tulips.

Chris and Susan – who may be laughing over the book title.

Mike and Susan

I just had to get one more picture of the entire group.

Jake, Jeff, Jay, Bunny, Inge, Jane, Lynn, Ruth, Susan, Chris, Scott, Mike, and Cerwin.

I sure do love and respect these people for their dedication to the Lord and TFC.

A yummy lunch.

We also celebrated Mike and Chris’ birthdays.
