We are the Friesen's: Weekly Meal Plan and Halloween....

Welcome....Here's a glimpse of our happenings!

The verses that have REALLY spoken to me (Sarah) lately....

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." Matthew 7:24-25

Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. I Peter 5:8-9

From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.' Acts 17:26-28

May the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14

So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or to the left. Walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess. Deuteronomy 5:32-33

God, our God, will take care of the hidden things but the revealed things are our business. It's up to us and our children to attend to all the terms in this Revelation. Deuteronomy 29:29 (The Message)

For Halloween this year, Luke was a construction worker. Nope, he wasn't specifically Bob the Builder....just an "ordinary" construction worker (even though we certainly know that Luke is anything but ordinary).

He was actually quite cranky that evening. My parents had come for the evening to eat supper with us and briefly go Trick-or-Treating with us. Because Luke is ONLY 3 years old, we stuck to our neighborhood (7 other houses), and we drove to a friend's house. We figured he didn't need all of the candy, and we know he has many more years with which to get into the fun.

Because of the crankiness, we let him take his little blanket with him. It kept him happy....

It didn't take him long to "figure out" what he was supposed to be doing.
