ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

OCTOBER 30TH,  2011

It's SUNDAY!

MISCHIEF NIGHT

The night before Halloween is a great time for Halloween pranks. Just make sure it's all in good fun.  It is an evening when people traditionally participated in harmless (please) mischief. The is on stress harmless or innocent mischief. Other forms of mischief can lead to big trouble. 

Remember the old days when someone used to call and ask, Is your refrigerator running?,  and  kids would ring your doorbell and then run.

Tis’ the season to bust out the spooky and hilarious moments that make people scream and laugh

Have a happy, safe, and harmless  Mischief Night

The Pumpkin Prayer

CUT OFF TOP: Lord, open my mind and fill me with your wisdom and guidance

SCOOP OUT YUCKIES: Lord, take out all my fussies and frownies and fill me with your love.

CARVE EYES: Lord, open my eyes to see all of the beautiful things You have made.

CARVE NOSE: Lord, help me to be a sweet, sweet fragrance to You.

CARVE MOUTH: Lord, help me always speak Your words of love and kindness.

CANDLE: Lord, let me be a light to others because You have filled me with your Light.

NEW IN THE KITCHEN

National Candy Corn Day is today.

 Enjoy a handful of this sweet Fall treat. And, what perfect timing. National Candy Corn Day comes just a day before Halloween. That means you can eat plenty of it, before you go out Trick or Treating.

Candy corn consists primarily of corn syrup, honey, and sugar. There's lots of carbs(sugar), but it's fat free!?
Have a happy  National Candy Corn Day.

Lord, hold our troops in

your loving hands.

Protect them as they protect us.

selfless acts they perform for us

in our time of need. I ask this in the

name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

AROUND HOME

Who Am I?

A face so round And eyes so bright, A nose that glows My, what a sight! A fiery mouthwith a jolly grin, No arms! No legs! Just head to chin.

There is a lot of fun to be had this Halloween season.  It really has become a season as many have been decorated and having fun for most of October already.  

I remember the days when the trees in front of our house would be covered with toilet paper and even when a few eggs were smashed on our windows.  That wasn't much fun at all.  Cleaning up after the pranksters was not easy for sure.  

Remember to make it a fun time and keep it simple too.

It's Sunday!  A great day to rest and relax!
