OCTOBER ALREADY 2024

 

 

A Note   

 Here we are in October. Facebook is full of pictures and activities full of activities of things that people do to recognize the day to day activities. This is when women were legally considered as 'persons'  on October 18, 1929 in Canada!!!!  

Thankfully we were created in the very beginning as women and could do almost anything we set our minds to but in the end we recognized that communicating together was  an advantage.  Some of us have more struggles than others and one noteable  lady mentioned here...Helen Howarth Lemmel.  And suddenly i am remembering Helen Halerewich, (as the name Howarth well not the same but i still thought of her!!)    And many of our other women who have passed away lately.  They managed households, carried offices thru their ups and downs in life.  

But read this even if you skim thru it!!! click on the name

Helen Howarth Lemmel

"The Heavenly Vision", also known as "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus" (the first line of its chorus), is a hymn written by Helen Howarth Lemmel. It was inspired by a tract entitled Focused, written by the missionary Isabella Lilias Trotter. The chorus is widely known, and has become a standard reprinted in many hymnals.

 

THIS  song was selected as one of the hymns to sing in church a couple weeks ago, and so on looking for the youtube version i came across another video that said the woman who wrote the song ....so here it is....her story.  it seems in another search that she was blind as was another woman we know who wrote songs - Helen Keller. 

I just skimmed thru the story here and didnt notice any notation for that, but many of us are noted for what we do.

 Craft   

a pretty something

Secret Sister Gift Exchange:  October is the last month for getting something ready for your secret sister who will be revealed at the last meeting of the womens ministry seminar during the supper hour.  Other ladies will be there that will exchange gifts also so it is important that you wrap and name your gift appropriately

I  encourage all of you to come to all the meetings as they sound like they are going to be really good. It will be a fun filled day and this will be a good finale to it all.

There will be an invitation to all the ladies that we have had as our 'extra'  secret sisters.  i will send them a letter and a poster that was posted in the church bulletin.  So I have my work cut out for me this month.  Please pray for each lady and a friend you may ask to come.  I hope it all goes well.  

thank you so much for being a part of this program this year and i pray that you all have received a blessing, large or small.  

See you there!!!!

Recipie

We  would only be complete with some food so here are a couple of recipes -

 

          This is a really good drink even I would mae it again even though the oatmeal is my least favorite.  I also used a Tablespoon of Bambu as a substitute and it was just as enjoyable!!  If you are really energetic you can make your own almond milk which i did. 

    This recipie i made today because i had extra lentils that were already cooked, they made an excellent sandwich, with all the trimmings you make for hamburgers.  i didnt have any lettuce so used a kale leaf which was just as pleasing.   You fry the bread just like toasted cheese sandwiches

Vegan  Lentil Melt

the gift is you!!
