Craft Fair

Last Friday we had a blast at our annual Christmas Craft Fair with our homeschool group. The children made snowmen candy cane holders,

photo frames from CD cases,

Felt Poinsettia napkin rings,

Snowman rulers,

Marshmallow Nativity Scenes,

Snowflake Headbands,

and several other crafts. It took about 2 hours of our time and by going straight from one craft to another they got almost all of their presents made for the family, with each craft costing between 50 cents and $2.00.

An 11-year-old was selling beautiful Poinsettias to raise money to buy a water buffalo! No, not for him but he asked his parents to take his Christmas money and help him buy one for a needy family in Asia through Gospel for Asia. What a sweet thing! So we got two beautiful red ones for us and Gran and one gorgeous yellow one for my SIL (whose kitchen/dining area is yellow and red). Overall a great day and lots of fun!

Our Family

Why "Go Home and Tell"? Because for many years we pursued the "American Dream". The more we gained materially the less we had family-wise and spiritually. When we finally turned our lives over to the Lord, this scripture came back to me from a testimony I had heard many years earlier. And we made the decision to "GO HOME" as God had wanted us to all along. There is no greater calling, no more rewarding "career" than to be good spouses to each other and good parents to our children. We have a long way to go, but as the scripture says " ...and how HE has had MERCY on you". Thank you, Lord, for Your Mercy as we daily "Go Home and Tell".
