Welcome back!

There are some people in our church who are getting married.

There had been a hold up for a while, but now the ball is rolling. I have no idea what they would like for wedding gifts, but I have a feeling that bridal lingerie would go over great.

David and Tosha do love each other a lot and the people at church are happy for them. Congratulations Guy and Gal!

What are you shopping for this season?

Most times people will answer - everything and the kitchen sink- for what they are shopping and looking for.

Me, I have a kitchen sink. I would like to have a mincemeat pie, or a pecan pie. Sounds simple doesn’t it? Well…..maybe not. Both the mincemeat pie, and the pecan pie use a lot of sugar in them. Maybe I should only want just one slice of eith one. I would still have the taste in my mouth.

With the problem that my sister is having with her leg, she will not be able to shop for any gifts for her family. I realize that many cannot afford to spend a lot for their families this year. I even wonder about businesses and any promotional business gifts that they might need to purchase to advertise their businesses.

I have heard a lot of different ways to handle things. One way to handle the idea of gift giving was to limit gifts to one per person. Try drawing names from a hat or bowl so that everyone will get at least one gift, and each person will only need to spend for one person and not a whole lot of people.

We personally will not be spending a lot because of so many things going on right now. What ever you do, try to avoid bankruptcy. That will not help any one. Most important, be with your families where ever and when ever you can. That in itself is a gift.

Fall does not mean that you should fall over.

However, fall to me means that the leaves change color, start to fall down to the ground, the weather gets considerably cooler. Holidays are coming. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Valentines day, Easter. I do enjoy all of these holidays. I also do enjoy the decorating that can come with them.

Right now, I have a new seasonal decoration on the front porch. It has a white tree skirt that is spread out, a Christmas wreath in the middle, and the words around it that say - It’s About Jesus. Too many times Christmas has been thought about as gifts, Santa, Reindeer….yada, yada, yada.

Christmas might not be the exact day of Jesus’ birth, but it is the time that had been set apart in order to celebrate it. Where have all of the manger scenes gone? What about the angels? Too many times Santa is shown (He does not exist by the way.) in a sleigh. Gifts are nice to receive, but how many families go bankrupt trying to out give others when it comes to Christmas presents? How many give them selves to their families all year round? How many only think of giving during the ‘Holiday Season”? Please don’t forget that the best present that you can give to your family is YOURSELF. It doesn’t cost much, just time.

This fall, why don’t you rethink about a different type of ‘fall’. Fall in love with your family again. It will be a gift that can grow. It’s growth wouldn’t hurt unlike the National debt that keeps growing. This fall…please don’t forget to give yourself to you family.

You know with October just tomorrow away, I imagine that a lot of people will have some sort of gathering together of the family. I had mentioned candles in a previous post, but what if you were to have party favors for the guests you might have a your home to celebrate the coming of fall?

A lot of promotional products would have the Halloween theme. If you do not celebrate the big ‘H’, you could have party favors with your family name, or the date on it. It would be different than other types of things that might be given as party favors. Imagine something that can be used over and over again. Like changeable power adapters that can be used no matter what type of power outlets that you might have, or flashlights, or coffee cups. It would be different.
