We Had A Feast!!


The room were decorated on Thursday afternoon.  We had a great group of ladies and kids to help us.


We had corn stalks and hay bales and pumpkins outside as well as luminaries lined on the walkway.

The tables are missing the marshmellow pumpkin favors.  Those were put out right before the dinner.  There are too many little visitors in our building.  We were not going to feed them too.

The evening was cool but no rain had fallen as was predicted.  We had about 92 in attendance and many of them were visitors.  We were so pleased that our neighbors from across the street came.  I haven't had a chance to visit with her, so that was wonderful.  Dwight has talked with him many times.   The program was short but sweet.  One of the ladies, Connie, played her violin and Dwight sang "Ho, Everyone That is Thristy."  It was beautiful.  We had lots of yummy food and, thankfully, lots left over.   Most of all, there were many that came to the dinner that normally don't come to church.  Our prayer is that the testimony of our folks that love the Lord was seen and heard.  Some of the children and teens were asked why they were thankful for certain things.   We wrote their answers down and Dwight read them.  One of the teens said, "I am thankful that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever because nothing else is."  That gives us all HOPE.  What a wonderful anchor we have to place our lives on!
The annual Fall Supper is history, but it was a great blessing and encouragement.
AND THEN THIS MORNING we woke up to THIS!!!  Actually, it started snowing and blowing about 12:30 am. 

Thankfully the yard work was done, although the picnic table and chairs still sit on the patio.  One never knows in northern Wisconsin if the snow is here for the duration of the winter, or if it will warm up again.

These snow picture are for Teddy.  Dwight's latest project was to cut the low branches on the stand of pine trees in the back yard.  They finished what they wanted to do on Thursday.  I'll have lots of pine boughs to use for Christmas.  We have moved quickly from God's Harvest Blessings to God's Winter Wonderland.
