We are the Friesen's: Trunk or Treat....

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)

Trunk or Treat....

I know I posted this pic on yesterday's post, but I'll do it again. This non-creative, non-sewing Mama found a cute "Strawberry Shortcake" costume. She really liked holding onto it in the store AND at home -- inside one of my reusable shopping bags. Who knows why???? Remember -- she's 2 years old. When I wanted to take this picture, she intentionally hid her face from me!

I wasn't sure if Kate would wear the dress or not. I assumed we *might* have tears. Amazingly, we did not! We went to a "Trunk or Treat" at church tonight.

Kate did cling to her daddy at first. But, once she figured out how to get candy, well, let's just say extra close supervision was required.

Luke dressed up as a construction worker. He's never been great with Halloween. In fact, I just told Marc this evening that this may be the last year I spend time on a costume for him.

He's been wanting to wear his REAL construction hat since April....then, when I wanted a pic, Luke refused to put it on for me. (As a side note -- I do think Luke looks rather handsome in his manly construction worker shirt AND in his glasses)!
