Today, we took our Japanese student to the Fort Langley Historic site. We had free admission since Canada turned 150 years old. In all our years of living here we have never been there. Guns were fired with gun powder, we saw how barrels were made, iron bent by an iron smith. The fort had both Native Indians and British occupants of over 100 people. There was also a bakery, and a garden where I felt most at home. We fed the goats and sheep in the back. We even saw a film on the history of the Hudson Bay traders. Valuable animal fur, and blankets, and anything worthy of trade was displayed. I loved the hardwood floors, and various buildings exhibiting the long beams in the ceiling. My husband even put on a confederate uniform half way. His stature was too tall for the uniforms available.
I was very happy hubby enjoyed himself. The fresh air tired us out. We can return for more visits until the year ends, or the Lord returns, whichever comes first: I think the latter.
I pray for peace and families to get along these 30 some days before Yom Kippur. At the Fort, I met one young woman who happened to be Jewish. She talked to me about the two witnesses returning, the solar eclipse and the sign of Revelations 12 in the sky. She was young, but clearly knew that this was a high watch time. I told her the two witnesses that are coming back is Moses, and Elijah, representing the Law and the Prophets respectively. The Jews will listen to these witnesses. They will all convert and know who their Messiah is. I gave the lady a hug before we left, and called her sis.
My hands are shot from gardening and doing daily chores. I have two surgical pins in my hands for over a decade now, and sometimes overwork makes it hard for me to continue the usage of my hands. I have to rest it now for a few days, and maybe wrap it up. Our student is leaving on Monday, after a short week of stay. Yet another hot cycle is approaching our coast in British Columbia. Those poor young trees that have been planted are not getting watered. I hope everyone thinks of their trees in their sidewalk, and puts the hose out for them for 15 minutes. It is certainly and exceptional year.
