October 31st.... yes this day occurs every year and once again I find myself wishing November 1st was here.....this day a distant memory. I've chosen to enjoy this day, not celebrate it but to enjoy it. I don't get into the pretending, dressing up part, spending hours on a creative costume.
This year my daughter will be pretending, she'll be acting...no by October 31st her play will be over...but I am trying to think what the reason is that I do not like costumes....I guess it's because I don't know who is behind the mask, but God does.
I was raised in a home that gave out candy and tracks in foreign countries, in America I don't remember the tracks. Overseas you'd find them days after on the road or other places, always wondered if anyone learned anything from them....perhaps.
This year I took a stand that I would not be part of anything involving witches or ghost. Mostly because my son who has hemihypertrophy says, "I a ghost..wooooo...or I a witch." it's kinda funny but not something I want him doing later in life so I'm not going to anything that encourages this type of thing. Also if I wanted to pull a Bible card it's Biblical but let's just say after hearing this a few times from my son....it is annoying!!!
So I've learned to say on October 31st, this is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.....and hey ummm yeah eating a carmel apple but then again why wait, this is also the day that the Lord has made!!
