Fall Fest - YEPPIE!!!

Yesterdays are fond! And "yesterday" was no different. Our Fall Fest was AWESOME. The family at RCC pulled together and gave with all they had and it showed with an over abundance of LOVE! I love it when that happens. Yes I was able to be "Ana crazy" - and did an obsticle course that was so amazingly fun (also funny to witness as I rolled over the huge 'hills')!!!

The vision was cast, we came together and lived the vision out. It was so rewarding to see how everyone pulled together from the backbone unseen to the visuals everyone worked together and shared the love of Jesus Christ to the community giving a family day for FREE to a world that always charges something because "there are no free lunches". Oh to reach out and serve was blessed all day. The gospel was shared in every way.

Advertisements with "no catch". smiles. laughter. meal. wagon pull ride. pony rides. blow up fun activites. children friendly duck pond, balloon darts, facepainting, dunk tank. Pie eating. World Renown Juggler and Gospel quartet brought in all with one come goal - Win - Build - Send for Jesus Christ! It was so refreshing to see all ages come together and smile hearing the message of the Gospel unashamedly and boldly. PRAISE HIM for he gave a picture perfect day. I loved it All!


But my favorite was when our line for the facepainting was very long and it was time to "close" temporarily to go to a main session. The last little boy was given the your the "last one" cut off, so to move along. When I happened to look up between children being painted and smiling I witnessed something wonderful. The "last one" let a few more children step in front of him so that they could get their faces painted while he was still the "last one" before closing. I could only smile and think and then pray for him, "Lord, Bless him because our desire was to give to this community out of Love be not charging one penny to any one. He gave your love be allowing others to come first - therefore bless him abundantly for his very unselfish attitude!" It made me make sure to smile, paint, and bless each little one that allowed me to paint their faces knowing that one little one "got it" and shared love to others also. For everyone who helped Fall Fest - Yeppie~!!! Good Job good and faithful servants - your hard work and Love showed.
