Read: 2 Corinthians 8:7-15
You know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor. —2 Corinthians 8:9
Bible In One Year: Isaiah 59-61; 2 Thessalonians 3
In high schools in the US, being elected homecoming queen is a great honor for any young woman. But when a high school near Houston, Texas, crowned Shannon Jones, it was a special moment for her and for everyone in the community. Nineteen-year-old Shannon, who is an award-winning athlete and an active member of her church youth group, has Down syndrome.
Shannon knew this once-in-a-lifetime experience was a gift from her younger sister Lindsey, who was the catalyst to elect her. Their dad said, "I'm so proud of Lindsey. Probably somewhere in the back of her mind, this is something she'd like to do." But she made it happen for Shannon.
The most inspiring acts of human love are only a shadow of the immeasurable gift our Savior has given us. Paul wrote, "You know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich" (2 Corinthians 8:9).
Christ left His glory in heaven and died on the cross for our sin so that we could be forgiven through faith in Him. His sacrifice was based on His love, not on our merit. All we are and all we have are the Savior's loving gifts of grace to us. —David McCasland

Beautiful presentation of a truly beautiful state (((((Mama_Bear)))))
As a young child (having been born in MA - shhhhhh, don't tell anyone!), I spent a summer in Hampton Beach, NH and took many other day trips to the beach and the mountains with my parents.
.45MAN lived and worked in NH during the '80's.
We were very saddened by the crumbling of the "Old Man in the Mountain." A dark day, indeed.
Thank you for this wonderful presentation and ((((((HUGS))))) to all at the Finest!
Yummmm! That does it! We're having apple pie for dessert tonight.
Lori, your topper just keeps growing longer and longer as you continue to lure us to a new state every month. :) What a beautiful job you're doing in presenting these United States of America each month, and since each 'Sistah' has 'done' our own state, you can be sure we know and can appreciate the time you spend in researching, collecting photos, editing photos, selecting eye-catching backgrounds, creating beautiful headings and putting it all together in ways that are sure to make us think: "WOW! I never knew that's where he/she/that/they came from!
Take a bow, Sistah Lori, for introducing us to new places and things!
Afternoon, MB. I ate all the leftover doughnuts :)
Nice presentation of New Hampshire. Looks like a nice place to go for a weekend drive-about, 'specially this time of the year with all the fall colors.
Beautiful pictures and interesting facts! Very nice! :)
