Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to the church door on October 31, 1517, provoked a debate that culminated finally in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. An important day in history.
“We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone” ~Martin Luther
Halloween happens to be on October 31st, also. For us Halloween is all about handing out candy to any little trick or treater who comes to our door.
Now that we live in the country the only little ones who come to our door are driven here by their parents. Addy and JJ will come by tonight to get a treat. They carved pumpkins last night and I borrowed this collage from Addy and JJ’s parents. Thank you!
It’s going to be a cold night to be out. Our Trick or Treeters better dress warmly.
I’ve got my red cape to keep me warm.
In other news we are very excited that on November 10th the MLS Cup final is going to be played on our home field for the first time! Our kids have traveled to Toronto in the past for other finals. Our kids get 4 tickets for the game and they have offered their soccer loving mother one of those tickets. Now I just have to figure out whether to drive (dependent on pass conditions) or fly to Seattle. Thanks for indulging me in my excitement and enjoyment of the game of soccer. Hmm, indulgences were a big part of the conversation in the talks that led to the Reformation so maybe my post is more cohesive than I thought.
Ice on my windshield on Wednesday morning. It will be nice when Dear’s shop has a roof on it so we can get my car back in the garage. The materials for building the shop are being stored in the garage where my car usually rests. We are still waiting on the company on some materials so that Dear can move ahead and raise the trusses and clear enough stuff out of the garage for my car to fit.
I’ll leave this random hodgepodge of a post with good true words from Martin Luther:
“Feelings come and feelings go,
And feelings are deceiving;
My warrant is the Word of God–
Naught else is worth believing.
Though all my heart should feel condemned
For want of some sweet token,
There is One greater than my heart
Whose Word cannot be broken.
I’ll trust in God’s unchanging Word
Till soul and body sever,
For, though all things shall pass away,
HIS WORD SHALL STAND FOREVER!”

…it’s going to be a nasty night to be out here!
Hello, love the photos and the cute kiddies. It is a rainy Halloween here, not a good day for trick or treaters.
Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend ahead.
Thank God for Martin Luther!
Rainy Halloween here.
I’m sure we won’t have any trick or treaters living out of town.
Great poem!
High winds and strong rain has cancelled Halloween in Montreal, Canada as well as other places. There is a suggestion of doing trick n treat for the children on Saturday.
Such cute trick or treaters that came by, Ellen, since our gates are closed at night due to safety,we don’t have trick or treaters.
Love your Little Red Riding Hood cape. ~smile~
The quote by Martin Luther is so true, it reminds of Psalm 18:30
Thank you for sharing.
Catching up with your news it looks as if you have had some varied weather conditions! I hope you stay sheltered and warm. All the best with plans this month. The quote is very true as the word of God stands forever and is a comfort through the ups and downs of life.
