Thanksgiving Day 2012





Today we had a wonderful time with Mone and Sanan.  They came to visit us from Chicago.  Mone was our foreign exchange student when I was a senior in high school at Roosevelt.  She was from Thailand.  Our son, Todd, met Mone and Sanan for the first time today.  My brother, David, hadn't seen her since she was here in 1969-1970.  It was a great reunion.  Todd had great stories to tell about his trip to Thailand a few years ago. 

We decided to take a few photos with the fall colors in the background.  Mike did a great job of doing that for us.  Then we went for a walk along the canal path.  I've been wanting to take Dad on the bike/walking path for a long time.  This is what we saw. 

We are so thankful to the Lord for His many blessings.  Today's celebration was one of them!

Until next time, happy stampin' and scrappin'!

Guest Project


Here's a great project created by a great friend of mine and fellow Stampin' Up Demonstrator, Donna Lewis.  She gave this to us for Halloween.  Since it is my husband's birthday on Halloween, it is a fun time of year.  My husband has great memories of growing up and celebrating his birthday on Halloween.  Can you imagine having birthday cake and then going Trick or Treating!?!  He's my "Treat" all through the year!

Here's a wonderful object lesson for you from the activity of "Carving the Pumpkin".  My cousin's daughter and husband shared this with the youth in their church.  I love this...


Carving the Pumpkin:

Step 1 - cut the top off and take out the slimy insides -

God initiates and does all the work in removing our sins and redeeming us with Christ's blood on the cross (Romans 5:8, Ephesians 2:8-9)

Step 2 - carve a face or picture in the pumpkin -


God gives us a new heart, a new identity in Christ (Ezekial 36:26, 2 Corinthians 5:17)


Step 3 - put a candle in the jack-o-lantern -

God fills us with His Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14)
 
Thanks for visiting today!


In Loving Memory of My Precious Mom


This is one of the hardest things I have ever posted on my blog.  I want you to know that this photo was taken just 11 days before Mom passed away.  She loved her great-grandchildren so much.  We loved giving her every opportunity possible to spend time with them.  You can tell by her expression this was one of the loves of her life!  I am so blessed!  I miss her but we will meet again in heaven!  She left us such a wonderful legacy of faith, love and hope!  She planned the whole Memorial Service.  It was an incredible testimony of her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and her love of the Word of God, the Bible.
