All Were Blessed!

By Linda Elissalde

“Some people talk to animals. Not many listen though.
That’s the problem.” A.A. Milne

A glorious fall day blessed Bay Vue UMC’s annual BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS on Saturday, November 6. Pastor Valerie Hudson, assisted by Sandi Covington, George Strong, Elinor and Pat Tinsley and Marcel and Linda C Elissalde, blessed all pets with owners who attended. Pets’ human friends received a printed copy of the blessing prayer. Pastor also prayed for those who were unable to attend because of health issues.

Emma, Girlie, Clinton, Sugar, Jake, Ike, GeeGee, Maile, Lolly, and Autumn personally received blessings from the Pastor. Chase, Travis and C.J. will also get blessing cards. A special card was delivered to lovely horse Faelynn of Crystal Corral because she could not make it this year.

The annual venture pays tribute to our pets. We appreciate every animal who contributes to the goodness of our world. May they all be blessed!

“Each species is a masterpiece, a creation assembled with extreme care and genius.” Edward O. Wilson

      By Shannon Williams “If Plan A fails, remember you still have 25 letters left” I love to make plans, it is almost a disease, as I just have to have a plan for just about everything, and I have to admit that I like to plan. I view myself as being flexible to change those plans, as there are just way too many things that can get in the way of a good plan. The past several
