Norwegian Preschools & Kindergartens

This basically explains why my mother, a Norwegian, could gnaw off her own 'paw' should she become stuck in a trap. Seriously, this video does show the hardy philosophy of the Norwegian people, for sure. Check it out:

17th of May in Norway

From our heart to yours, Norge, on Syttende Mai (17th of May)

As we celebrate Norway's independence from foreign rulers, Your heavenly Father wants to remind you that no spirit, stronghold or principality can hold you back from the glory of the His loving plan for you.

The Lord wants to release a fresh wave of spiritual freedom over Norway.  He is coming to blow winds of healing and deliverance over the land and set the captives free from fear, depression, disease, pain, oppression, hopelessness, lack of vision, and apathy. 

He will cause a holy joy to spring up in Norway as His people rise into the place He has ordained for them. He is pouring out Spirit-inspired songs of freedom all across the country! Listen as sounds of heaven are heard in the land again!  Norway, you are free from your captivity! It is your time to rejoice in what the Lord has prepared for you! The winter-time is over and the Spring-time has come! Whomever the Son sets free is FREE INDEED!

Ja, Vi Elsker Dette Landet!

                                                      

Snapshots of Life in Norway

Yet another stunning view of life on an island.

I love the Norwegian Church's undying affection and support for Israel.

I quite like the way Norwegian men are involved with their children.

They are expected to take turns caring for their children and are very involved in daily tasks.

It is not uncommon to see Dads behaving more like American Moms!

 I really like that!

A beautiful sykkel.

I don't know what this means but it is always staring at me as we drive.....

My constant companion in Norway: knekkebrød og salami.

Every entrance to a home has a stack of shoes. Norwegians seem to really, really like their shoes

and they have a million pair. I find it a koselig (cozy) sight when we enter a home.

It makes it feel lived-in.

They are such lovely girls, not only beautiful on the outside but really lovely on the inside. 

We have had the pleasure of spending time in their home and they've been delightful!

Everyone should hope to have such wonderful girls!

What a lovely day off we have had today!
