Halloween 2016

Every year we go back and forth about whether to celebrate Halloween or not. There are so many compelling reasons not to.....but every year we just cave and say, "Aw, it's no big deal, it's just an innocent holiday that is fun for kids."   As Christians, however, we struggle with decisions everyday that we hope glorify our King and Savior. This year, we decided to sit this one out as a conscience offering to the Lord. Bella was a little disappointed for the first few seconds after we talked but then she shared with me just how scared she was seeing all the gore and evil costumes anyway. Joziah didn't care because he doesn't know any better. Bella decided we were going to have a pumpkin drawing activity and then watch movies instead.   It was a lovely evening AND I didn't have to spend the next 2 weeks listening to whining for candy OR raiding their stash myself.  Win-Win
