I get so giddy when Halloween rolls around, Halloween is a time you can be any one you want to be. Me personally, i like to be something out of the ordinary...well for instance...last year we had a Halloween party for several of us adults. One guy was a gangster, another guy was a nun, there was a clown and a tinkerbell sorta thing. I didn't know what i was going to be yet, all i knew i wanted to wear this long black dress that my mother gave me a few years ago (something i wouldn't wear in public but i didn't tell her that..) well anyway, i had black and silver hair spray and some green and yellow face paint left over from the year before. I teased my hair to no end, i love teasing my hair but i guess Halloween is the only time i can get away with it. I looked hideous. they all called me a crack head...i sure did look like one. i still don't know what i was, But that was the most fun i have had in a long time.
I usually decorate the front porch with a dummy, old jeans and a flannel shirt stuffed with old clothes that i don't wear anymore. Spider webs Everywhere! even in the house.....around the fireplace, around the doorways....yeah i love halloween. Oh that reminds me.......
One year I took my son trick or treating and we were upside down people....oh my gosh that was funny....we had heads dangling between our legs.. i took jeans and cut the crotch out of them, we put those on like a shirt...then we put big flannel shirts on like jeans, with a belt that held the two together....i made a fake head out of a stuffed corner of a pillow case, drew eyes and stuff on it, and tucked that in the collar of the flannel, and put a black hood over our real heads, and shoes on our hands.
So we're on our way to trick or treat.... this was the embarrassing part.....I never realized i was almost out of gas...yesss i had to pump gas looking like that, the cashier couldn't quit laughing when i walked in....i think it was where i had to walk kinda bow legged because i had a fake head swinging between my legs....LOL..oh that was fun, Its so nice to think back on the good times and can still get tickled about it.
We were taught, as kids, to pray for things the we want to see, have or what we want to turn out. So many prayers seem as though they go unanswered but God will only grant you what you see yourself worthy of. Imagination is a powerful thing. Everything we see that was built by man started in a mind first, a dream, or a desire. God is our father. If I wanted to give my child something they longed for and they turned their head in shame as though they were not worthy of it, it would break my heart. How would I know they really needed it if they didn’t ask for it or seen themselves worthy of having it? Turn to your father, ask for forgiveness, not just because you have done wrong but ask for forgiveness that you feel the shame inside, the regret, the missed opportunities that you gave up. Ask for forgiveness that you never had faith that God was leading you all long and you ignored the blessings because someone told you that you weren’t worthy. Know your worth and give thanks t...
