"And the LORD, He is it that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed."

LAURA: QUE LINDO TU PORCH, ME GUSTA CUANDO CAEN LAS HOJAS DE LOS ARBOLES, EL OTOÑO ESTA LLAMANDO A TU PUERTA. PREGUNTA : ¿TU FESTEJAS HALLOWEEN? POR LO DE LAS CALABZAS, ¿NO CREES EN DIOS? ENTONCES, ¿COMO QUE PARTICIPAS DE LAS OBRAS INFRUSTUOSAS DE LAS TINIEBLAS? ¿O SOLO ES DECORACION? NO QUIERO OFENDER, PERO HAY MUCHOS CRISTIANOS QUE FESTEJAN ESTAS TRADICIONES QUE NADA TIENE QUE VER CON LO QUE PROFESAN, POR UN LADO AMAN A JESUS Y POR EL OTRO FESTEJAN A SATANAS, NO ENTIENDO, Y LUEGO DICEN QUE SON FESTEJOS INOFENSIVOS .......... BENDICIONES.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteYes, I do believe in God. No, I am not offended. When my kids were little, we did sometimes go to harvest celebrations at church. We don't celebrate Halloween and the evil it includes.
When my kids were small, I read a book to them each year called The Pumpkin Patch Parable by Liz Curtis Higgs. It was about a farmer who grew pumpkins to sell. He chose one, cleaned it out and put a new face on it. This was related to the way God cleans out the yuck and sin in our lives and puts a new happy face on us when we are saved.
Now that the kids are adults, they chose the faces they wanted to carve on their pumpkins.
I understand your concern. I believe that Jesus can redeem many things. We have approached these things from tht standpoint.
Sincerely,
Laura Lane
I enjoyed hearing about your day to day life and the things you are and hope, to accomplish. We don't celebrate Halloween either but don't criticize those who do. Would you believe I'm almost finished with Christmas gifts. Just our son-in-law left. He's so hard to think of something for. I like to be finished early and enjoy the season with no stress, remembering that it's all about Jesus. I do have to address cards yet. That will need to be done in the next few weeks. I like to have it all finished before Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI hope your Friday is a blessed one.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
