His Masterpiece

I got this poem from a friend of mind and I thought I would share it with you.

My life is but a weaving, between my God and me,
I do not choose the colours, He worketh steadily,
Of times He weaveth sorrow, and I in foolish pride,
Forget He sees the upper, and I the underside.
Not till the loom is silent, and shuttles cease to fly,
Will God unroll the canvas and explain the reason why.
The dark threads are as needful in the skillful Weaver's hand,
As the threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has planned.

Ottawa!

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while. I was planning to post before I went to Ottawa but I never got around to it. This post should make up for it though. The trip to Ottawa was awesome! On Monday we drove there and had supper with the Ottawa Valley homeschooling group. On Tuesday we went to the Royal Canadian Mint, the War Museum and in the afternoon we toured the Parliament buildings with Joe Preston's staff. He is our MP. On Wednesday we went to the National House of Prayer,the Supreme Court and the Nature Museum. On Thursday we went to the RCMP Musical Ride stables and the Museum of Civilization. On Friday we went to the museum of Science and technology and then we drove home. Ok now for the pictures.

The Canadain Shield, mainly trees interspersed with rocks and swamps.

































I was very impressed by the architecture, especially of the Parliament buildings and the supreme court but also by the other buildings down town.

















The Royal Canadian Mint, we weren't allowed to take pictures inside.

















The top of the entrance to the Mint.

















The War Museum


















































There was some interesting models there.
































The Parliament buildings, I took first one and Karen took the second one. The first one is more blurry because of the weather and because I took it out of the van.


































The Supreme Court. This building is huge! Its true size is hard to capture on camera but hopefully the people give it some scale. That is me on the top of the front steps. Karen took the picture.

















I have to go now but I'll post more pictures later.
