Thanksgiving Countdown

Today

Today I had to go to work with my Mom...."fun"!! I went so that my friend, Amy, could pick me up from my mom's work (I was at her work for 3 hours...YIKES!!) and take me to ballet. We had a partnering class today. This time our teacher lifted us. It was scary at first, but then it turned out to be fun. I was mainly afraid he would drop me, because I had never been lifted in any sort of way by anybody before. After that we went to a shed and worked on the float (me, momma, my ballet teacher, and her mom) for the Christmas parade. It's looking very cute so far. Then we FINALLY came home. We have been gone most of the day!! I can't wait to "hit the hay"!! My back is hurting a little bit. Maybe it'll feel better tomorrow. Ta ta for now!!

Thanksgiving

Ahhhh...I love Thanksgiving!! It's my favorite holiday, and my favorite time of the year, fall. This year we will be very busy, as usual. First we will go to my great-aunt's house on my mom's side of the family, and all my relatives will be there. There we will eat lunch and spend most of the afternoon there. Then we will go to my grandparent's house on my dad's side of the family. His brother and sister and their familys will be there. There we will eat supper and stay late into the night. This year me and my grandmother had an idea. Since my two cousin's birthdays are so close together (Adien's was Thursday and Chase's is one week after Adien's on Thanksgiving Day), we will sing happy birthday to them and not only celebrate Thanksgiving, but their birthdays as well. We were going to put candles in a cake, but nobody has time to make one, so my grandmother suggested that we put the candles in a pie...Good thinking Nana!! It's great to have a smart grandmother(even though all grandmothers are smart)!!!

Three birthday announcements.....

Happy Birthday to cousin Chase(will be 4), Adien(will be 2), and friend Macrea(will be 2 (Ellie correct me if I spelled his name wrong again))!!!!!!

I will be sure to post more about our Thanksgiving later.

Oh Let Us Give Thanks To The Lord, For He Is Good - unknown

It's good to give thanks to the Lord and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
To declare Your loving kindness in the morning and your faithfulness by night.
-Psalm 92:1-2
More to come....

Luke 7:36-50

Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee's house and sat down to eat. And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil, and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with fragrant oil. Now when the pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he spoke to himself saying,"This Man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what manner of woman this is this is touching Him, for she is a sinner." And Jesus answered and said to him,"Simon, I have something to say to you." So he said,"Teacher, say it." "There was a certain creditor who had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other owed fifty. And when they had nothing with which ti repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell Me, therefore, which of them will love him more?" Simon answered and said,"I suppose the one whom he forgave more." And He said to him,"You have rightly judged." Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair if her head. You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss me feet since the time I came in. You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. But to whom is forgiven, the same love little." Then He said to her,"Your sins are forgiven." And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves,"Who is this who even forgives sins?" Then he said to the woman,"Your faith has saved you. Go in peace"

In Loving Memory...

This morning around 6:30, Mrs. Lola Autry died.

Visitation is Friday night from 5:00 to 9:00 pm.
The funeral is at 11:00 am Saturday morning.
Both will be held at Pine Grove Baptist Church.
If you need directions, good luck, cause I have no clue where it is...
You can ask Pastor John...I guess.

Mrs. Autry was a very sweet and active woman!!
