Trip to Saskatchewan

Harv and I left Monday evening last week to go and pay a long overdue visit to our daughter and her family in Saskatchewan. We took the Yellowhead Hwy. through Clearwater, Jasper National Park, Edmonton and Lloydminster. We had great weather with no rain or snow and the highways were clear which always makes the trip more pleasant. I love traveling this route. The scenery was spectaular as usual with snow icing all the trees through the mountains.

In Jasper, we once again saw alot of wildlife. We missed the picture of the bears but these fellows posed nicely for us.

What more can one ask than to see, not only God's handiwork - mountains, meadows, rocks and rivers but also his wild creatures . Then to top it off, He paints it all around with a pallet of glorious colour. Absolutely wonderful!

From Psalm 104:

Praise the Lord... O LORD my God how great

You are!
You stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens;

You lay out the rafters of Your home in the rain clouds....

Mountains rose and valleys sank to the levels You decreed....

You make the springs pour water into ravines so streams gush down from the mountains.

They provide water for all the animals and the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

The birds nest beside the streams and sing in the branches of the trees.

You send rain on the mountains ...You fill the earth with the fruit of your labour....

The trees of the LORD are well cared for...

High in the mountains are pastures for the wild goats and the rocks form a refuge for the rock badgers....

You made the moon to mark the seasons and the sun that knows when to set.

You send the darkness and it becomes night when all the forest animals prowl about.

O Lord what a variety of things You have made. In wisdom you have made them all.

The earth is full of your creatures... Every one of these depends on You to give them their food as they need it. When You supply it, they gather it. You open Your hand to feed them, and they are satisfied.
