With COVID-19, the Ezekiel 38 invasion looming and the Rapture of those who love Jesus imminent, Halloween completely slipped my mind in view of being in the End Times. I know there has always been a debate on whether a Christian should have anything to do with Halloween, but I will leave that to the"Theologians" who have the time to argue. For myself, the main way I participate is to spend the night in prayer in order to overcome all of satan's activities which now surround that night and as he has endeavored to take over the entire month of October to make it his own version of the Christmas season.
But since this may be the last Halloween I will ever see and I wish to use EVERY opportunity to get people to notice Jesus, I will make a few suggestions this year.
I doubt that there will be very many trick-or-treaters with COVID-19 lurking, but a prominently displayed pumpkin will most likely get noticed. So I have included a link to a website with Christian templates for Bible-themed pumpkins. And don't forget to put up a clear and concise Bible verse that can be read from a distance. And if you can't think of which one to use, you'd be amazed at how much the simple three words, "JESUS LOVES YOU" can get under someone's skin and into their hearts and minds. 😉😁
As for those of you stuck inside with your kids, this is yet another opportunity to make it a special night. We do so love to dress up and make-believe. So you can help your kids to do that as they dress up and reenact a Bible story.
And of course, it wouldn't be a creative post from me if it didn't include the encouragement to get out your crayons. So I have also included some coloring pages below while keeping in mind that a coloring page is just to get you started. Enhance it however you wish. Then, give it away. A personalized coloring page gets appreciated, kept, and can continue to encourage someone. It is a way of saying, "I've noticed you. I care about you. You are worth my time."
And don't forget to have LOTS of sweets and munchies available. I know everyone will be bouncing off the walls from too much sugar and chocolate, but the END OF HALLOWEEN and IESUS coming soon is a pretty good reason to celebrate. Can we at least agree on that?
Speaking the truth, with love,
Always, Laura-Lee
