Welcome to Autumn! The wind is getting blustery, and the leaves are falling...mostly all over my car. It's a wonderful, and colorful time of year.
My five year old has started a "leaf collection" which she adds to every day. Yesterday she was sad when she opened the box to find that some of her favorite leaves had lost their bright colors and turned brown. How fast the glowing colors of autumn seem to fade! Enjoy them while they last!
October, too, seems to have sparkled brightly and briefly.
In our 2's class, we learned the story of Noah. The first week, our kids "built" their own ark on paper, the next week they added animals, then they decorated a picture of a dove, and this last Sunday of October they put together a picture of a rainbow: God's promise to never flood the earth again.
November is all about giving thanks to the Lord! Thanks for our families, friends, the food we eat, the homes we live in, and most of all for the gift of God's son, Jesus.
Our two's class will do fun crafts with leaves and turkeys, while learning some simple prayers to say, "Thanks!"
May God's blessings be with you and your family during this beautiful season!
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:17
