Pumpkin Delivery

When I pulled up to the house last night, I noticed there was a flickering light on our front porch and as I drew closer, I realized DW and I had been the recipients of a pumpkin delivery with our business logo on it! I thought it was pretty amazing and had to share!

Pretty quickly, DW and I deduced who the "culprits" were and made a phone call to thank them for their thoughtfulness and for the adorable pumpkin! They were also willing to share pictures of the process and I loved them so I thought I'd pass them on!

Daniel (Dad) helping coach the process along: The Cutout!

The "sneaky" delivery after dark in the PJs...

...and not to be left out, the littlest culprit, Jackson!

We love you guys!!! Thank you for your creativity and thoughtfulness!

Favorite Quotes:

Psalm 119:65-68:Do good to your servant according to your work, O Lord.Teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I believe in your commands.Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word. You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees."

"God knows when something glorious in the future necessitates something difficult in the present. Because He knows the glory will be worth it, God will risk being misunderstood." Beth Moore

"We do not quit playing because we grow old, we grow old because we quit playing." Oliver Wendell Holmes

"If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you." ~Winnie the Pooh

"Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging, and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous." Carrie, Sex & the City

"Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own." Robert Heinlein

“If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun...” Katherine Hepburn

“Nothing in scripture depicts the Christian life as divided into sacred and secular parts. Rather, it shows a unified life, one of wholeness, in which everything we do is service to God, including our daily work whatever that may be.” Dan Miller, 48 Days to the Work You Love

“Knowing God’s will is not some passive guessing game. Rather it is taking what God has already revealed to us and developing a plan of action. And God’s revelation to us comes through our bodies, mind, hearts, and spirits…" Dan Miller (again), 48 Days to the Work You Love

"Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important." -- C.S. Lewis
