“NEW FACE” Thought for the week: For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness; hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 (KJV) Time again!! For the town of Milton and surrounding area to LITE UP OUR PUMPKINS! The WV Pumpkin Festival is October 3 thru 6 at the Pumpkin Park. Go, stroll thru the vendors, meet your neighbor, and enjoy the food and entertainment of our outdoor fall time ritual. Be thankful that our little town has such an accommodating place to present all the fun activities it offers families to attend. Let’s support The Milton Performing Arts Center - it is something to be proud of in Milton with spacious seating and good singing groups.
Most all local elementary schools are bused in to visit and design their own different pumpkin faces. Did you ever notice when a person becomes a child of God he or she also sports a new face? A face with a more content smiling happy-with-the-world look. This is because they now have trust in God to help them thru life and its decisions. John 16:33 - These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. A Christian Pumpkin Poem; I am a Jack o’Lantern; my light will shine so bright, For I am a Christian pumpkin, my symbols tell what’s right. My nose is like the cross on which our savior died, To set us free from sin, we need
The Putnam Standard no longer hide, My mouth is like a fish the whole wide world to show, That Christians live in this house and love their savior so. The story starts at Christmas, my eyes are like the stars, That shone on baby Jesus and wise men from afar, My color is orange just like the bright sun, And so on Halloween let’s set our pumpkin out, And tell the trick or treaters what God’s love is all about. - Author unknown NO GOD, NO PEACE. KNOW GOD, KNOW PEACE So get a pumpkin and decorate it with a smile for the coming Fall season; set it out brightly lit as a symbol to let others know your light shines inside you for God. ‘Tis the Fall Season once again, God displays His colors thru the trees and many flowers. Soon, the holidays are upon us: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas - each have a way we can say Thank You God for another YEAR! Prayer: Thank you God for creating the change of seasons and creating each of us, may we do your will daily. Amen.
Tri-County YMCA The Skinny: Oct. 1, 2013 Silver Sneakers Richard L. Swanson Award One of the many fitness options we offer at Tri-County YMCA for seniors is Silver Sneakers. This is a program offered through Humana that emphasizes physical activity and socialization for older adults in an effort to take control of their health. It includes access to exercise equipment, fitness classes, and swimming. Silver Sneakers was created in 1994 by Mary Swanson, whose father, Richard L. Swanson, experienced a heart attack and used regular exercise to rehabilitate himself. After taking the advice of his doctor, he worked out three times per week for the next 30 years. His daughter, Mary, worked with Humana to offer an exercise program that could make a positive different in the life of older adults.
Each year, Healthways presents the Richard L. Swanson Inspiration Award to four individuals and a national winner who have benefited from the Silver Sneakers program and in some cases, inspired others. On Wednesday, September 25, the Richard L. Swanson Award was presented to Ms. Georgiann Ash, a member of Tri-County YMCA. She has been an active Silver Sneakers participant for five years and attends classes five days per week. “Silver Sneakers is fun and energizing, and has allowed me to rebuild my physical and mental health, “says Ash. “I have a lot to live for these days. I’m now better equipped to handle most anything coming down the pike.” “We received hundreds of nominations from across the country for the Richard L. Swanson Award that showed
the positive impacts – social, emotional and physical – the Silver Sneakers program has on our members,” said Joy Powell, Fitness Market President and Healthways. “Georgiann is a great example of how committing to a lifestyle that emphasizes fitness and well-being can inspire a person in such a positive and enduring way.” For more information on the Silver Sneakers program please visit http://www.silversneakers.com /Home.aspx.
