Publisher’s Page October 2015 Matthew 9:37-38 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38 ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field.”

I love this verse. I believe that the “harvest” refers to the blessings that God pours out every day for all of us. Some of these blessings are of course given freely, and we should all be grateful. For me these include opening my eyes each morning to a new day with new opportunities, enjoying the beginnings of each day with my family whom I love very much, and living another day in the greatest nation on earth and enjoying the freedoms that are provided in the United States of America.

Just like the workers at harvest time in the field, God expects me to work hard to sow seeds of His love and kindness to others, recognizing the opportunities he has placed before us that will glorify Him. It is important to remember to seek God’s will each day and then be willing to put one foot in front of the other to accomplish the daily harvest of blessings that he has set aside just for us.

Then there are those blessings that we must work for to receive. For me, this work is North AL Kids Directory. We are celebrating our second Birthday with this issue. I count my advertisers and readers as part of my blessings daily. Thank you for supporting our publication and we look forward to beginning our third year.

God Bless You!!

Fall is in the air. Can you believe it? Football season is in full swing. Leaves are falling outside and the cooler weather feels amazing.

In this issue: Happy Fall Ya’ll Happy Fall Ya’ll! Please take a look at the products, services, and programs our advertisers have featured in this issue. They want to help you multitask during this busy time of year.

In the next issue: #1Holiday Gift Guide! Is it really time to think about Thanksgiving and Christmas? Our advertisers will be ready to help make this holiday season a special and meaningful time for your family.

gg& mommy& me DIY Terracotta Scarecrow You will need terracotta pots, straw and a few simple accessories.

Some you may have on hand: twine, raffia, burlap, straw, black, orange and white markers, some beads, washers, and glue.

Pick out two pots the same size for the head and body.

Pick out four small pots the same size for the hands and feet.

Q First place one of the large pots facing down (the body) and the other large pot on top of it, facing up (the face).

W Next paint the entire top pot white, under the rim. Then paint the eyes, nose and mouth as shown.

E Cut a piece of twine about twelve inches long. Make a loop knot in the middle of the twine. Push it through the hole in the bottom of the pot, securing it with a flat washer or large bead so that it can’t slide back through. Place the twine sitting on top and extending out to each side evenly.

Secure the small pots at the end using the same procedure to make the hands.

R Next cut a twenty-inch piece of twine. Fold in half and attach in the middle to the loop knot already inside the large pot. Extend the ends out underneath the pot. Slide on a bead to make the knees and attach the other two small pots for the feet.

T Decorate by gluing patches cut out of burlap to the body. Add straw or grass inside the head for hair and inside the hands and feet.

Y When decorations are complete glue the face securely to the body. You may want to make a whole family of terracotta scarecrows!

Discover all this and more at the annual Athens Storytelling Festival. Stories will be told on the courthouse square in Athens, Alabama within close proximity of an eclectic mix of shops offering a wide variety of antiques, gifts, gourmet foods, clothing and hardware.
