Some Truth to Share!

Still waaaaaaaaaaaayyy behind on posts…but wanted to share this before Halloween this week. If you’d like, please by all means copy this, make it your own and share it with your own neighbors and friends! And if you happen to be in our neck of the wood…please stop by, rumor has it that the nuggets picked out some super tasty…super sweet and possibly FULL-SIZE candy …yep, that’s right!

My idea behind the poem came from the Pumpkin Patch Parable by, Liz Curtis Higgs and My Happy Pumpkin: God’s Love Shinning Through Me by, Crystal Bowman. Both are fantastic nugget-friendly books that encourage truth!

Our hearts are like pumpkins, they might not be orange and round…

But there are many similar traits that can easily be found.

See the outside of a pumpkin looks real nice and smooth as can be…

But inside there is lots of pulp and slime that’s pretty gross and icky!

The icky-ness is how our hearts look as they reveal our need for grace…

When we accept Jesus’ gift of love, our hearts become a clean place.

And once they’re cleaned they are able to shine, to glow and share bright light…

And that bright light is what spurs others on to shine, even in the dark of night!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;

the old has gone, the new has come!”

2 Corinthians 5:17

May your hearts be blessed!

Apple Sauce

After picking apples, there is one obvious this left to do…

make APPLE SAUCE!!!

B was thrilled to pull the apple peeler corer slicer out for it’s annual spin…

Little A watched from the comfort of her own seat…it’s crazy to think this time next year, she’ll be standing at the stool helping alongside her big brother!

Don’t be fooled, Little A was sure to get as much attention as her brother!

After the apples had cooked, B helped Gram mash the apples up in the food processor…

Pushing the button was a hit…

Though he was slow to try the homemade sauce! (Go figure?)

Happy Fall.

Be blessed.

Another Friday FUNday!!!!

Wow am I back-logged on blog posts…chalk it up to busy little ones I guess!

Oh, so much to catch up on, I’ll try to remember it all.

Several weeks ago, we ventured out to yet another apple orchard…this time Emma Krumbees!

We started our adventure by exploring this old tractor…

Then summited a mountain of hay…

Then we checked out the annual scare crow contest.

These we just a few of my favorites.

After checking out the scarecrows, we ventured towards the tractor trikes and cow-kid swings!

Then we tried out the barrel train…needless to say, it was a hit!

Our last stop before picking apples was the water pump…little A squealed with delight as she watched the little ducks move through the water.

The late spring freeze did a number on the apples at Emma Krumbees as well as the other orchards we’ve visited this fall.

The pickings were slim as we headed out to pick, but that didn’t curb the enthusiasm of these two!

Little A even joined in on the fun…as she sat content in her wagon as she watched her brother pick!

Whew! What a morning of fun! And what a sweet sweet memory, it truly was an Apple of a Day!

Be blessed.
