That was then, this is now. She is in heaven with Jesus now and I know that she is basking in his love and sharing it with others. She is whole.
So what does this have to do with Halloween? My mom, the fundamental Christian, loved Halloween. She set aside all of her dogmas and let the dogs out for Halloween. Demons that were feared and riled against during the rest of the year were amicably welcomed on Halloween. She had more Halloween decorations than Christmas ones.......
One of my favorites was a sign, which went up every year on the front door. The sign had an ugly witch on it and it said, "Welcome kiddies, put all your goodies in the box below... go quietly and no one will get hurt." Yes there was a box underneath the sign. No one ever left any candy, but I find the story to be so funny.
Have a Happy Halloween. October 31 is the Lord's day too. The devil does not get a day. Today is the Lord's day. This is our father's world.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
