Fairies and Pumpkins

Harvest has arrived in Santee.

As you can see, Faith has been busy. She planned and comprised her whole "Fairy" costume herself. Didn't she do a fabulous job?! She had a little more trouble planning her pumpkin. You see, we don't celebrate halloween here. We choose to celebrate the abundance of blessings the Lord has poured out upon us. In this season of trials, changes, and firestorms we had much to be thankful for. She wanted a pumpkin that showed her joy, her sense of beauty, and the reason for living. Her Jesus. Of course, putting flowers, hearts, and butterflies on a medium sized, orange, scored round object is delicate at best. Asking Dad to carve them is even more delicate. She auditioned many different choices. Many hours of research. We have on display, top of the crate, her masterpiece.

I believe it to be a huge success!

Since our church decided not to put on a Harvest Festival this year, Dad and Faith chose to drop in on the one at Sonrise Christian Fellowship. Take a peek at the fun they had:

It was a very fun night. Since we are running out of mini Oreo cookie packets, Faith has opted to give out the candy she received that her orthodontist would frown upon. I think the message of love and kindness on a night when evil would rather reign is truly living on in her heart.

Fairies are definitely ready for sweet dreams!
