Hilsner og en varm velkomst ...

Hi!
My name is Inger Hava Katz - and I wish to welcome you to my blog. (Hilsner og en varm velkomst ... is Danish for 'Greetings and a warm welcome')
My desire is to share with you the joys and experiences of my life. There have been some 'downs' but many 'ups'.
There is no 'life' if everything is sweet like sugar. There has to be some bitter or sour, like lemon, to go along with it. 
I used to say to my friends and family 'I am RICH' - but not with money. But experiences, family and friends ... love, too.
Not the romantic sugar love, but the love from Above. From our Loving God. In other words, I am a Christian. And from that my life experiences flow.
Some 45 years ago, it was not so...
Before this gets too long as an 'introduction' about who I am and about me, I better tell a little more. 
I was born in Denmark - soon to be 71 years ago. I met my husband there. We got married in 1966.
We have three children, six grandkids and Emy. I will tell you about my lovely Emy as time goes by.
In Denmark, I have five siblings, two nieces, two nephews, and a few cousins I am still in contact with.
My husband, Arthur Katz, passed away five years ago this June.
I still live here in Minnesota at Ben Israel - a community he founded over 35 years ago. My husband was a special godly man and lived the way he preached. You will learn about him and Ben Israel as time goes by.
In 2007, I learned I had aggressive breast cancer and had about one year to live. BUT, here I am four years later, doing quite well by the grace of god. I did not do 'chemo' and all the things that go along with that. I went on a special diet (Vegan).
I am not so radical anymore. The cancer has advanced into the bones, but even so I am still here - thanking God every day for the life he gives me. The bonus is I am not in much pain. Hardly any. I will add here that I am on medication (but again, not much) and am strong.

One of many blessings I have is a ministry or, can I call it, 'mission work' known as Lifeline that I do in the West Bank (Israel). And that you will learn a LOT about also, as time goes by.
May God bless you as you follow me down the road of life.

Warmest and sincere greetings,
Inger Hava
