Halloween

We had a number of children come by yesterday for Halloween. It made me happy to see their cute costumes and how sweet they were. Well, we also had a number of teenagers, but that's ok. Now that I'm older, and it has been over twenty years since I've tricked and treated myself, I wish I had really enjoyed that time more. It goes by so fast.  Our nephews were all very cutely dressed up--Paws!! I bet Joey really got more into the trick or treating this year. He is growing up far too quickly.

It is always bittersweet to be on the other side of the door. I wish I was out escorting my own little trick or treater. Maybe someday. I read this quote--God's delay is not God's denial. But sometimes, I wonder. There has been nothing delayed, because I have not tried at all. I guess I'm not the only one who isn't trying. I get sad about that. And I hope for change.
