Clara's cookie adventure from the weekend.
Side note: My mom, Clara, has a lot of physical difficulties these days. Walking is particularly challenging for her. But she has always been a hard worker, so we give her all the jobs that can be done with one's hands, and she loves it. There is no stage in life that God cannot use you.
Fast forward to tonight and enter the cookie decorators.
First, we spent a little time admiring the beautiful maple tree in the front yard. It is in full color right now.
Then, we tried on the aprons Aunt Katrina bought for us that are just our size complete with pictures of Mickey Mouse, Cars, and Frozen characters.
Next, we made the frosting for our cookies and colored it with fall colors.
Now, it's time to decorate.
Beautiful!
Tonight, for Bible time, we returned to our old favorite, Leading Little Ones to God, by Marian Schoolland. I've yet to find a book that does a better job teaching the whole of Scripture on a child's level without dumbing it down. Tonight we started over with lesson 1 titled "Our Hearts Ask for God". We also read Psalm 105:1-4 together:
Oh, give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name;
make known his deeds among the peoples!
Sing to him, sing praises to him;
tell of all his woundrous works!
Glory in his holy name
let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice!
Seek the LORD and his strength;
seek his presence continually!
We finished the evening with a rolicking game of Mickey Mouse Uno.
As usual, a fun time was had by all!
