TRUNK OR TREAT SUNDAY

This morning looking out over the pastures it looked like it had snowed here last night the frost was so heavy.
I'll take the frost compared to the folks in the northeast, some who got 2 feet of snow and where there are 3 million people without power this morning.
And to think all we had was a thin skim of ice on the water buckets !!

Church was nice today as we had a 5th Sunday morning singing where anyone could sign up to sing a song of their choice. We heard many very good songs and got some surprises at some of the voices we heard sing.

At lunch everyone made it except d-in-love who is working. After we ate hubbie and the boys took the camper cover off his pick-up and stored it away probably until next vacation.
When everyone else left ,hubbie and I checked out the estate sale that was this weekend ,but found only a couple Christmas things and a camping chair.

It was time to decorate my van for trunk or treat tonight at church. Daughter joined hubbie and I this year.Here we are all set up and ready to serve !! Devil, street preacher and angel.
The crowds were huge ,even bigger than last year.
Fishers of men ????
The fishing set up was a popular stop for all the kids.

This is my favorite little fisherman snagging his prize.

Checking out the real live fish in this bucket as his dad looks on.

G-son choose Captain America this year.

Inside the fellowship hall there were games and lots of food.Outside there was a bonfire for roasting marshmallows and a hay ride for kids and kids at heart alike.
All in all it was a fun time for everyone.
We gave out a large plastic storage carton full of candy.I cheat a little bit when it comes to the candy,but it allows us to be able to give a handful of pieces to each child. My secret is that after Halloween each year when Walmart has their 75% off sale I check the expiration dates on the bags finding most of them are actually years in the future,I stock up for the next year, storing it in a sealed plastic container in the cool basement. Shhhhhhh!!!!!! don't tell !!!!!!!!
It has been a nice sunny but cool day ,only 56 degrees after a morning low of 27 and we are headed back for the upper 20's again tonight.
Back home doing chores by flashlight I got pretty chilled so it felt good to come in and snuggle on the couch awhile with my 4-legged kids.

Praying tonight that God got glory from our out-reach efforts tonight in the community.
Good Night and God Bless.
