Sunday Blessings!
Sharing this photo of my ceramic pumpkins that I made 36 years ago. I can hardly believe it has been that long. They bring back a lot of memories that I revisit every year as I set them out. ~Mindy
I thought today would be a great day to share a pumpkin story...
Today is another day, another opportunity, to shine the light on Jesus!

I also wish to share a fun family activity I came across. A fun/teaching way to carve your pumpkins!
It's called, "The Pumpkin Prayer"
Open my mind so I can learn about You. (cut the top off the pumpkin)
Take all my sin and forgive the wrong that I do. (Scoop out the inside)
Open my eyes so Your love I will see. (cut the eyes)
I'm sorry for times I've turned up my nose at what You've given me. (cut the nose)
Open my ears so Your word I will hear. (cut the ears)
Open my mouth to tell others You're near. (cut the mouth)
Let Your light shine in all I say and do! (place a candle/tea light inside)
Amen

A fun pumpkin carving memory...

Old churches must not simply stand
as monuments to the past but as spiritual grandparents that have
invested in the future by passing on their life to others and releasing
their offspring to form new congregations. ~ unknown
