Lovely breathtaking photos, dear Sonja. How can you not love Norway? One half of you came from there, literally...but I think it is possible to love Norway with a whole heart... and also love America with a whole heart. You can't really love something that is so beautiful half heartedly!<br /><br />Thank you for sharing about Tante Maren.<br /><br />She sounded to me like Corrie Ten Boom too!<br /><br />Wow...I really enjoyed reading these posts you have written. Such a privilege to know someone like you on blogland!<br /><br />Blessings to you today, dear Sonja<br /><br />Love<br />LidjCrown of Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993686012020045284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-73649231237267857732010-07-21T11:39:03.925-07:002010-07-21T11:39:03.925-07:00Hello Sonja,

Shaped like the mountains surrounding the town.I'm so totally in your love with your aunt Maren.<br />She's one in a million. What a true treasure.<br />Sometimes suffering is bringing forth the gold in people. I guess she must have been gold on beforehand. Working patriotically for ones country was the only thing that would send a person to a German prison camp.<br />It's true that women who fell in love with German soldiers were treated as outcasts. Even their children were bullied after the war, often also by teachers. Oh, war has such horrible "side effects".Felisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-27190825861724530072010-07-20T14:04:35.034-07:002010-07-20T14:04:35.034-07:00Oh my...how pretty.Oh my...how pretty.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04238679303715431171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-28857281854530836002010-07-19T12:35:55.245-07:002010-07-19T12:35:55.245-07:00Beautiful photo's, Sonja.

We held our first prayer meeting last week... 15 in attendance with promises of return this week. More than anything, I saw and felt a deep hunger from those present. I haven't told you very much about the situation we've moved to, but safe to say, we need revival and prayer. I'm particularly moved by one of the final chapters that talks about discouragement and your father's advice therein.<br /><br />Recognize it; refuse it; replace it with God's hope.<br /><br />That will preach. It preaches to me this day.<br /><br />peace~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-35582546721533937482010-07-19T05:50:36.115-07:002010-07-19T05:50:36.115-07:00Enjoyed your pics and adventures while back in Nor...Enjoyed your pics and adventures while back in Norway.<br /><br />Come see me.Diana Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14397053240610492128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-4423945850407091172010-07-19T00:46:31.521-07:002010-07-19T00:46:31.521-07:00Just beautiful!
