THE JOY OF HALLOWEEN!

Having just celebrated Halloween I was taken back to my childhood and how we celebrated it. I don’t recall it ever being a scary event, although there were those that did their best to make it so. It was fun to dress up and be who and what we wanted to be for just a little while. Our neighborhood in those days were filled with several children so there was always a group of us who went “trick or treating” together, not to mention we always had someone to play with! Times have changed and we have to be a bit more vigilant as to where our children go and who they are with, but it is good to see people still celebrate Halloween in a big way, in some places you can’t see the house for “ALL’.’ the decorations in their yard. We know Halloween can be traced back to a pagan holiday, and I am sure there are those that don’t celebrate it because of that and that is their choice, but these days we need to find and look for joy and light in the darkest places. I’m sure our Heavenly Father smiles when He sees the faces of our little ones light up when they open their bag of goodies after a night of “trick or treating,” not to mention a few adults as well!

Romans12:9
Let ‘love be genuine. Abhor what is evil: hold fast to what is good.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, may we always be reminded of Your shining light and glory in the darkness so we may find joy and peace. In Your precious name we pray. Amen
