a fall prayer request

Fall is my favorite season. Last weekend I went with my cousin into a corn maze at night. That was a fun adventure. Also, last weekend my church had its annual Chili cookoff, another fall favorite of mine.  I love to see the bright reds, yellows, and orange tinted leaves as they glow in the sunlight and glide to the ground.  Fall is a transition season..a bridge from summer to winter..a time of change.  

Right now is kinda like fall for my family too because my aunt went into the hospital with asthma symptoms.  The doctors operated on her spine due to some fluid or blood built up around the spine, and now she is paralyzed from the waist down. They say there is a chance that she could fully recover and walk again but there is also the possibility that she will remain paralyzed.  Please pray for my aunt and for wisdom for the doctors.  I'm not sure how my aunt will handle this drastic change in her life and i'm not sure if she is saved.  I know that through the changes and trials of life that God remains the same. He alone is the sure foundation for life.  I know that He is in control.

Sunday School Joys

P9090597

Today in Sunday School the lesson was on the friendship of David and Jonathan.  We talked about how Jonathan gave David gifts to show him how much he appreciated him as his friend. After the lesson, I asked a few little "gamers" if they would give their wii with all of their games to their friends.  These little pre-schoolers said no.  It was so cute.  now, they said that they would share their wii and the games with their friends but they would not give them this treasure of theirs.  But their unwillingness to give their treasure to another got me thinking.  I'm just like them. When I have a chance to bless or to hold on to what is dear to me,..sad to say is that I cling to the treasure in my hand instead of letting God use it to bless those around me.   interesting what I learn from those adorable kids...
