Birthday Month Celebration Day 15: Sweet EBC Ladies Making Sweets

Today I celebrated by going to a Ladies Fellowship up at Eastview Baptist Church.   We made treats for the Harvest Festival which is coming up on the 26th of October. If you know me, you know that I am not very "artsy" and so I need safe jobs like unwrapping the candy :)  Give me a book to study or teach and I am on it, but decorating something is not in my wheelhouse!     My friend Katie, to build up my confidence, told me that I would do fine and that she doesn't fire people.   She assigned me the job of making a mouse out of kisses, and then after looking at the one I produced, promptly gave me a safer job! :).   I'm pretty sure that meant I was fired...but in the nicest way :). I did manage to produce some okay looking acorns and turkeys though.   I'm stretching myself as I turn 50!  

A successful acorn....don't look too close! 

My messy turkeys...still need eyes, beaks and feet.  

I am so grateful that God gives us all different gifts and that he puts us together to make us more effective.   I loved hearing all of the reminiscing that was going on as some of these ladies have been friends for a very long time.  I'm so glad that God is giving me a chance to get to know these wonderful women.
