The Light of the World

"I am the light of the world.  

Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

~John 8:12, NIV

The Princess

pink

pretty
and
all sweet

Pictures of Grace

She's an outdoor girl.  One filled with adventure and courage.

I wish the pictures showed the way the light danced off her hair and the way it glowed in the sunlight.  The God-given beauty that shines through her in her most natural of states.  Just like the fall season, when the Master Painter, takes His paintbrush and colors the landscape with beauty and puts His beauty inside a child and it shines forth on the landscape and the colors flow and spill out on each other.  And in this beauty I see Him.

decorating our pumpkins

After we got our pumpkins, we decorated them of course.

Isabel chose to paint hers all pink- of course

and Gracie drew on hers.

Beautiful! 

We left a few outside which instantly became

squirrel food.  

Now it's time to get costumes ready! 

And to buy candy!  Lots and lots of candy!
