Last night was Halloween...or "you know, that thing." :) We have made it a tradition in our neighborhood to get together with our friends and let the kids just have a good time, trick-or-treating and playing and just having fun, as God intended! Last night we decided to do something just a little bit different: we invited the WHOLE neighborhood to a "Light up the Night Block Party."
It was amazing! We had food, fun, and fellowship, and at the end of the party, we had a hay ride...or as one sweet boy called it, "A hay back ride!" It was my favorite part of the night as we all cuddled close in a lighted trailor going from house to house. But, the icing on the cake was the songs that ALL the kids began singing: "He has the whole world in His hands" and "Jesus loves the little children". It was beautiful (if not a little loud) as they raised their joyous voices, not only in praise to the Light of the world but in invitation to other children that they passed. One little girl added, "Jesus loves ALL the little children of the world, and that includes you..and you..and you." And she was right, amazingly and abundantly correct, and I am pretty sure that God smiled generously as we traveled the streets last night, shedding just a little light on an infamously dark night!
