We finally got our pumpkins carved last night. I thought they turned out cute and they are even cuter in the dark with the lights glowing. From left to right the artists are:  Molly, with the help of Momma; Sophie, and Sadie. 
 


Pumpkins are like Christians
 
A pumpkin must be CHOSEN. 
God graciously chooses all who trust Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.
(John 1:12; 3:16)
 
A pumpkin must be CLEANED.
God forgives and washes away our sins because Jesus shed His blood on the cross.
(Psalms 51:2; Colossians.1:14)
 
A pumpkin is CHANGED.
God changes those who accept Him into new people whose hearts desire to please Him instead of self. 
(2 Corinthians 5:17)
 
A pumpkin should CAST light.
God fills Christians with His Spirit and allows His love and joy to shine brightly through them.
(Matthew 5:16)

Love them & the verses that go along with pumpkins. I need to apply those to my patch better! I love the glasses on Sadie's pumpkin! I cheat & use fake ones over and over! I don't even have my fall decorations out yet....I am behind! Story of my life!
