His Glory Among the Islands

-
By Anna & Elisabeth
One fun day in Washington, we took some extra time to explore the San Juan Islands. 
We boarded a ferry and sailed out to one of the farthest islands. 



It was a great activity for everyone and we thoroughly enjoyed the water and beautiful scenery!

Here is a perfect picture of our parents demonstrating the important role they play in our family--together, facing the same direction, looking out into future...

Along with good ole' American sweets, it was neat to also interact with some folks from where Elisabeth had been in India. They had fun discussing bits of culture, foods, and also trying out a few Hindi sentences.



On Orcas Island, we were able to drive around, touring the island, then we stopped at a beautiful, hidden lake to have a picnic and splash around.

Getting ready to canoe.


Enjoying the crystal-clear water!


Mama, preparing lunch. Mmmmm!!!

A few made good use of the rented boats before lunch.


A hungry crew!!


...And a 'sweet' baby! (Someone gave her a cookie!)



More making waves and spreading ripples.



Papa & Josiah shake hands after swimming to and from a small island 
about a 1/2 mile out in the lake. 

What a day! The three snoozers here were quite conked out after such excitement!

What better way to finish off the day than at the ice-cream shop!


No one can quite eat this cold delicacy like little children!

This has memories too. Several years ago, when our home was among the islands, we used to get up early in the morning to go to another island to help with some work and when the ferry would stop here at Orcas, we would run off, grab breakfast in the little shop, then run back on the ferry before it left for the next island. So, for old times sake, we went on as pedestrians. 

Daniel bids the island 'farewell!'

     Mama & Papa talking...            ...Ooo! Caught!...        ...And smiling!


Watching the sunset.



Hey, look! Two more ferries!                Someone's watching us!




These islands hold many fond memories, and we were blessed to add more to the treasure!


"Let them give glory unto the Lord,
and declare his praise in the islands."
~ Isaiah 42:12 ~

Reflections on 2021

Written by Tanya "O magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt his name together," Ps. 34:3     A s I have reflected over this past year, I am in awe of God's faithfulness, care, and provisions yet again. Yes, our Lord is always the same yesterday, today, and forever; but, I continue to stand amazed as I see His hand and love in personal ways.    Back in  February, the Lord birthed a long-time vision to begin music recordings for our family. It has been our heart's desire for many years now, and in the Lord's beautiful timing, He saw fit to let the process truly take off this year. It has been a huge project as my precious husband, Ron, has invested and been the mastermind behind engineering it all. Our livingroom has turned into a portable music studio, and we have all grown accustomed to the words being sent throughout the house, "Going hot!" All becomes quiet--even down to the little ones, as those who are recording proceed and others turn to quiet pro

by Tanya Linzey  God  In Focus   At the start of this New Year, my husband and pastor of our church presented a theme for our church entitled, “Applying God’s Word”. He presented it through a message about “Vision” using the verse in Proverbs 29:18 which says, “Where there is no vision , the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. He then went on to explain that vision is beyond just us seeing but it involves hearing also. Back in the Old Testament in the days of the prophets and in 1 Samuel 3;1 it says, ”The Word of God was precious in those days, there was no open vision (meaning no message or direction from God.) Putting the two thoughts together, it basically means that without God’s Word the people perish!    God’s Word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. (Psalms 119:105) In the New Testament and in 2 Peter 1:19 God tells us that “We have a more sure word of prophecy; which is the word of God: whereunto, ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light
