~We absent-mindedly forgot to photgraph Day 7 when we found our little guy riding piggy back on the snowman of our stocking holder. This is what we spotted today...
~Beau is definitely my most mischievous elf! Just wait until you see his Preschool Christmas performance! Anyone know how to load videos onto a blog???~
~Morgan thought Secret Elf drew long hair on him because he must've heard Mo tell me last week that he did not want to get a haircut.~
~Secret Elf and I finally got a laugh from the Blakester! Ok, well, it was more of a smirk.~
~Day 7
Saddle up, everyone. It’s time to ride! God’s people were hitting the trail. They were leaving behind the harsh slavery in the country of Egypt and heading out for greener pastures in the promised land.
There was Moses in the lead: God’s faithful trail-guide bringing that herd of Israelites back home to the range.
But as the group stopped for water, Pharaoh’s riders swept down from the hills to steal them back. But Moses was not worried. He knew that God was the head honcho on this drive.
God opened up a passage through the water that Moses quickly herded the people through. And when they were safely on the other side, God wiped out the rustlers that Pharaoh had sent. Yee-hah! God’s promise to save comes true!~

~Day 8
Like a restless herd, the Israelites were wandering through the desert in hopes of reaching the promised land. They needed guidance, not just on where to go, but on how to live and act. What did it mean to follow God: to be one of God’s people”
God gave Moses a list of directions—rules of the road that God’s people could follow every day of their lives. “Follow these commandments,” Moses told them all, “and you’ll be heading in the right direction.”
You and I are God’s chosen people, too. When we obey His commands we show others that we are God’s followers. With God in the saddle, there is no better guide.~

~I have suddenly developed an urge to be crafty. I saw a picture of a fabric gift bow online....and decided to make my own! It was easy, and I had a lot of fun. I am warning you now, if you get a gift from The Pyatt's for Christmas, you can expect to receive some form of a double-sided fabric bow! Last night when I told Brad at 10pm that I wanted to make a craft, he asked if I was sick. Haha!~
~As a follow up to one of my very first posts regarding our World Missions Offering, and Blake's story about his friend who's family is from Saudi Arabia.... This was posted on our church Facebook page today..."Lotti Moon offering update: as of Weds Dec 7th, FBC Rockwall will be sending $549,770.49 to international missions! Every cent will go towards helping those overseas hear about Jesus Christ! Thank you Lord for blessing your people so richly."
Blake also spoke with Pastor Steve who reassured him that some of that offering money will be used in Saudi Arabia to reach those people with the Gospel. One of the many goals of the International Mission Board is to reach Muslims around the world and get a copy of the Word in their hands.~
