Let me begin by saying a BIG thank you to Carrie Hartshorn and her
'team'. They worked tirelessly, as normal, to arrange, publicize, and stage
the annual Trunk or Treat. During Trunk or Treat one of the adult visitors
asked me how long we had been doing "TOT" and remarked that she
started coming when her son was small. This year she brought his kids. I
don't rightly know how long it's been, but I do know that it is one of the
events that brings the largest group of visitors to us and it is always a
positive experience.
It takes a lot of work to pull it off and with EVERYONE'S help, we did
it again. Our crowds were a little smaller this year, but that was due to the
rain and mist. One of the interesting things about "TOT" is the adults that
show up. Some people drive a long way for a bag of candy AND to visit
with old friends for a couple of minutes. Only God knows what He is doing
in the lives of each and every one of them, and in the lives of each and
every one of US.
Again, good job Carrie, your team, and everyone who helped by
bringing candy. WELL DONE.
As soon as we finished with Trunk-or- Treat, literally, we reset our
clocks and we started the countdown for the race to 2027. Veterans' Day,
Thanksgiving, Holiday Dinner, Christmas, New's Year. I have already
started Christmas shopping, I am planning on how/when to put up the
Christmas tree, And.....l think I am already tired. Yesterday was the 4th of
July and tomorrow will be Easter. ! believe that the best plan that I can
come up with for November & December is to slow down, enjoy our family
time, both at home and at church, and let God be God.
Sounds like a plan to me.
