Once I worked at the church and they gave treats to all the staff as a thank you every year at Christmas. I guess the bags of graceries they gave away were saved for the poor and needy. I know they gave plenty of them out.There was and always has been though plenty good will and cheer. I love your pictures. They remind meof the little church my grandmother attended.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-46594676396391588712010-12-21T21:00:00.175-05:002010-12-21T21:00:00.175-05:00Probably one of the best ever mean to measure time...Probably one of the best ever mean to measure time and life.

God and I have been doing a whole lot of churching in the wilderness lately, so I'm not sure what they did this past Sun.<br />Our church does individual family shots now and compiles them in a booklet for the congregation, like Fred says. They do it about every 5 years.<br />I do like the idea of everyone standing out in front of church tho. Nostalgic, it is.<br />We used to get fruit in our Christmas stockings, all 9 of us youngins...that had to cost the folks a fortune, but how we looked forward to it. Thanks for the sweet scent of Christmas.<br />BlessYourHeartsDarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642092433299872708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-43034437818650950442010-12-21T18:04:23.214-05:002010-12-21T18:04:23.214-05:00I could use one of those planners with a pen to ta...I could use one of those planners with a pen to take with me to a doc's office. I put the appointment days on a calendar when I get home.

It was<br />exciting to see the children when they received their treats. Things have really changed.<br /><br />I have a picture of Dad's first church 1934 but the photography was not very good It was a large crowd 3 or 4 hundred people. I was out front sitting by Dad my guess I was 2 or 3 years old. Yes Jack I was not born this age.<br /><br />Shirlshirl72https://www.blogger.com/profile/17268124369207064149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-84880434046772904682010-12-21T17:39:36.167-05:002010-12-21T17:39:36.167-05:00You know Jack, you really brought some memories ba...You know Jack, you really brought some memories back and now churches have to lock their doors and even if locked they get broke into and vandelized.

I noticed that ours at Tellico Plains only gave out a "Bible Reading" Calendar - a calendar with a Scripture location printed on each day so that if you read them every day you will have read the Bible through by the end of 2011. I miss those things! I have noticed that our grocer has had 10 pound bags of nuts in the shell for sale this year for several weeks now. I've been tempted to buy a few - but then we don't want to throw the hulls into the gas fireplace. ☻ As the teacher of the Sanctuary class I bought 25 pieces of home-made peanut brittle and gave each class member one. All my old folks seemed to enjoy it. After all, IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!Fred Altonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740055638280779519noreply@blogger.com
