Pumpkin Cookies

What a gift to have a can of pumpkin for baking pumpkin cookies

this Thanksgiving! I am thankful for the team of volunteers

who came in October and shared pumpkin with us!

Usually we boil and mash it so having it ready in a can was really nice.

We are grateful for pumpkin yummies!

A trunk full of love

Friday November 28th we took 13 Christmas boxes

of food and supplies to the therapy group.

We are grateful to my friend for her family business

who packed everything up for us.

We are grateful to FBC Burden for their generous gift!

And we are grateful for being able to give these boxes

and explain about the greatest gift of all, Jesus Christ.

Please pray for the families to read the book of John

which was placed in their bags.

Pray for the Lord to draw their hearts

to Jesus through His Word.

He is having heart and kidney problems. *Pray for Madylanne to finish her fall semester as a senior strong.
