Pearls of Life - a service

Yesterday we held a service where we walked through the Pearls of Life - wreath. We used words, bible readings, songs and a few prayers to tell and teach each of the round pearl’s focus, name and use. For most of the people there it was an introduction to the wreath and for the […]

Waiting for Bea

Now we are waiting for our guest to arrive, almost anytime. We do love company, especially the rare visits from our old town back in the western part of the country (Don’t get me wrong, we do love all our guests no matter how far they have to travel to get here […]
