The Playful Fun of Dress-Up

Fall dress up party at Jonah Camp
Lydia found my favorite dress and woolen shawl in my closet, her own hoop skirt, and colonial bonnet and hat from our 2012 trip to Colonial Williamsburg.  Grandma was visiting throughout the summer and fall, camping in her own trailer behind the barn, to spend more time with us and help out Marshal at the clinic three days a week!  Gabe shared with her his dress up idea as a UPS delivery man, so she brought him a shirt and pants from neighbors and friends.  They fit Gabe perfectly.  He printed off some UPS symbols from online and taped them to his hat and shirt.  I love my cuties.  They struck a perfect pose going into Camp Jonah.  It didn't escape my notice that they were perfectly color coordinated with the building!  
Camp Jonah - at the heart of the community - a place where families of the land, put their faith in God and obeyed to be a blessing.  Running the other way when we receive the call of God may be the first response, but because of the Son of Man who went into the belly of the earth for three days and rose again, fulfilling the sign of Jonah, we have a second chance to turn (repent) and obey.  Because God gave Jonah a second chance, one of the greatest cities of the earth, with its king, believed God, repented and was saved.
