Beauty update...

One of my favorite pics of Cory and Beauty

I had a little case of the blues tonight, but then an angel sent me the most amazing update on Beauty.  I thought I would share it with everyone.

From Marilyn:

Beauty, Wendy and Pokey Joe (aka Rudolph) were a big hit at Church yesterday. After worship everyone came into the fellowship hall for lunch and caroling. I surprised everyone with a CD of "Rudolph the red nosed reindeer" and in walks my Dad with Pokey dressed like Rudolph. He "worked" the room like a pro and everyone was thrilled... then we went out back and gave everyone pony rides with under 3's on Pokey, 3-8's on Beauty, and over 8's on Wendy. Wendy was a little surprised by the flashes on the parents' cameras but Beauty and Pokey were perfection. We made lots of happy faces and our faces were happy too!!

From Mandarin Lutheran:

Today after service, we enjoyed a wonderful time singing carols, lunching on pizza and visiting together. Though the weather outside was what some would call "frightful", kids of all ages enjoyed pony and horseback rides on Black Beauty and Wendy. Rudolph even crashed our party and was the biggest hit! He kindly stayed around to give the littlest party goers rides ~ their smiles were absolutely the widest smiles of the day!

A special BIG "Thank You" goes out to Cindy Misner for working so quickly to coordinate everything and to Marilyn Whitford (and the Whitford/Carter family) for the live music sing-along and for supplying the four-legged entertainment.

We are truly blessed at MLC, and are so thankful for the gifts that God has given each of us!

The fruit of the spirit is love, joy and peace.  - Galatians 5:22
