Lufthansa Airlines' workers went on strike during the week our son and his family was set to leave for the USA. 

Here are the deets on the strike 🠚 Lufthansa cancellations impact more than 130,000 passengers

Thank God most issues were resolved by their departure date.  However, there may be more strikes up ahead, sigh 😟😞

Our Boys, Our Grandkids

Our priceless treasures 💙💙💙 live 5k miles away, sigh. 

However, I am thankful that we were present for all 3 as they were publicly dedicated to the Lord God -- just as  Hannah of the Old Testament did for Samuel.

And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.

27For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:

28Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there. (1 Samuel 1: 26-28)

May the LORD open the door of opportunity for us to visit them once again, in Jesus' name I pray.

AIRBNB: Our Berlin, Germany Apartment

pc: AIRBNB

A historic and beautiful 3-bedroom/2 bath apartment on the ground floor level.

 Plenty of room for the 7 of us ( 4 adults, 3 kids).  Our young grandkids could run around, yell, and cry and not likely disturb anyone.  It was a cloudy and rainy week, though, but it was enjoyable in many other ways.

Daughter Bitten by a Feral Cat

 

The cat at the Park looked friendly, says she.  But it suddenly took a vicious bite at her  wrist. The painful injury required a 10-day dose of antibiotics, sigh ... Thank God for a friend's Physician-mom for the Rx.

We are cat-sitting her two friendly/affectionate cats here at our home for a couple more months, but why take a risk petting an unknown, home-less, German cat? Because daughter misses her own Pets and she's a cat-lover at heart that's why!!  It did not help any that the feral cat is a look-alike to one of our own cats (who truly is a friendly cat, see picture). Appearances can be deceiving otherwise!

Day #3

Day #4

Day #5

The wound has healed, thank God.  As for our main concern of Rabies, the Physician assured her that the German town vaccinates its feral animals against rabies. There have been no recent reported cases. Praying, in Jesus' name,  for the continued well-being of our daughter ❤💚❤

Boys, Boys, Boys!

We are across the Pond; and seeing Family is a beautiful gift of opportunity from God.  Thank You, Lord Jesus Christ!  

These 3 Boys are perfect-to-us and very precious.  Dedication of baby Louis is a public acknowledgement of the Gift of Life that is from God, and to be lived for God. We Parents can do nothing but pray and train children in the way they should go (their bent). Only God can call them to Jesus Christ of the Bible -- the only source of hope and eternal life.

Merry CHRISTmas 2020 From Our Family to Yours

 Joy, Joy, Joy!!!

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

8And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

(Luke 2 )

Travel: Food That Was Served on Turkish Airlines During Covid-19

 Whether Brown-Bagged or Boxed:  We flew to Istanbul, Turkey on Turkish Airlines.  We flew a total of 6 times on Turkish Airlines (or its affiliates) during our recent European trip. Our meals were Chicken, Chicken, and more Chicken. They were consistent, indeed -- no choices  were given. Take it, or leave it.  No tea nor coffee neither. Just bottled water. Welcome to the new normal.
