Fun Fall Week!

"Wowie wow wow!" (As Junie B. Jones would say!). We've had a fun, busy week! On Tuesday, Mrs. Cave and Mrs. Laxton led a fun chapel time! Mrs. Laxton read "The Pumpkin Patch Parable". After that, we all participated with a mini pumpkin book. As Mrs. Laxton instructed us in our books, Mrs. Cave carved the pumpkin. The booklet is called "The Pumpkin Prayer". Here's how it goes:

(Cut off the top.)

Lord, open my mind and fill me with Your wisdom and guidance.

(Scoop out the yuckies.)

Lord, take out all of my fussies and frownies and fill me with Your love.

(Carve out the eyes.)

Lord, open my eyes to see all of the beautiful things You have made.

(Carve out the nose.)

Lord, help me to be a sweet, sweet fragrance for You.

(Carve out the mouth.)

Lord, help me to always speak Your words of love and kindness.

(Place in a candle.)

Lord, let me be a light to others. For You have filled me with Your light. ~ Author Unknown

I love that! I wish I had that prayer when my children were young! What a great way to carve a pumpkin together!

Today, Mrs. Campbell came to chapel and read another book about a pumpkin and talked to the kids about being a "light" to the world. We sang "This Little Light of Mine" with her. It was lots of fun! After that, Mrs. Berry shared a poem with us and we decorated our pumpkins. What a blessing it is to be able to put God into everything we do! I love that about our school!
