Whose Money is it?

Whose Money is it?

by Phoebe Leggett “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord. ‘Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11) Hey Kids: Can you put God first in everything, including money? 1.  Learn early on how to manage your money.

Cookies

All afternoon four neighborhood girls played hard in Dominic’s yard, perfecting cartwheels and tumbling in the grass. Later as they spralled on the lawn, the wind gently bent the grass in waves of green as a soothing breeze softened the ripened heat of Indian summer.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT by Phoebe Leggett

Beginning the new year can come with many challenges. One challenge may be what to eat that will keep us healthy but is fun to devour. Fruits and vegetables should be at the top of your list of good things to eat. It’s best to learn how to read labels on food. What to watch for are ingredients such as fructose – or its relative, high-fructose corn syrup. Other food fillers that aren’t natural for human consumption may have funny-sounding names.

It’s a Pumpkin

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes  so that it will be even more fruitful” (John 15) (NIV) Pumpkins and Squash are grown on vines and originated in Mexico and Central America. They were first used in North America by the Indians. Pumpkins, which are related to squash, need a long warm season to develop. Larger pumpkins can also be used for cooking. ~ Pumpkins are a warm season plant and seed should be planted in warm soil in mid to late spring. ~ Thin plants when 2 inches high.
