Reaching Your Jerusalem on Halloween

I love all things fall.  Not so much Halloween.


I do love the story my mom shared with me this week.  Last Friday was their small town's trick or treat times.  (Here in Nevada - it is always October 31st no matter where you go.)  She said it was a beautiful evening.  My dad and her sat in the front of the house on their lawn chairs and passed out suckers for two hours to the kids that came by trick-or-treating in the neighborhood.

You see, my parents pastor a church in that town.  They live in the parsonage adjacent to the church.  Mom said that there were many kids and teens that came by that had attended church before.  She said they were able to reconnect and catch up with many of them.

I loved this.  
Reach your Jerusalem.  Reach your neighborhood.  
One sucker at a time.

    Your Mom kept a count. 237 trick or treaters. We really enjoyed it. Beautiful night. It was actually Saturday evening.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
