Happy Halloween!
Our next door neighbors did things up right this year. They had all the neighborhood children (and then some) over to eat chili, play games, and run around in the back yard. At one point I counted 14 masked marvels. They all came by our house after the party for trick-or-treating which means we had about 14 more kids this year than last year!
Some people really love Halloween. They decorate to the hilt and dress up and all that jazz. I thought about putting on some face paint tonight but the only thing I could think of doing was a clown face -- and I thought that might not be a very good idea this year!
This is about as festive as we get for the fall. And if you turn the pumpkins around, they spell U K. 🎃 (I know you're not surprised!)
Unfortunately there is a more sinister side to Halloween, but I chose not to dwell on it a whole lot. I'd rather laugh with the children, enjoy their costumes, and eat leftover candy. I'd rather focus on the light instead of the darkness in our world. And when tomorrow comes -- guess what -- it'll be November!
“I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows Me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.” John 8:12 HCSB
