I don't celebrate Halloween...

and I haven't in many years.

I don't judge those who do.

If you're a mom like me &

you don't celebrate Halloween,

and feel like you're kids

think you're being a party pooper,

you can get creative in other ways.

Before you do the creative thing...

explain to your children why you're not celebrating .

One Halloween, I made crossword puzzles for my sons

of scriptures from our own bibe study that

I had with my sons at home.

I rewarded them with candy, or some small gift.

They didn't feel like they were missing anything.

We had a good time at home in God's word!

Do other things...like a movie night or

playing board games at home.

Food For Thought

As a young girl & early adulthood, I never knew what

this holiday was all about. I just followed what was passed

down to me. When I found out...I stopped celebrating.

Whenever you get involved in something...

know why you're doing it.

Research things for yourself.

Thank you Husband!

I love you!

Find some time today to relax for 30-45 minutes!

No phones,no television,no computers,etc.

Relaxing doesn't mean turning off things,

so you'll focus or wander on issues.

Visualize yourself walking on a

gorgeous beach on a cool day,

as the winds blow on your face.

Mentally take your mind on a vacation.

Food For Thought

Make sure that the space in which you're relaxing

isn't cluttered so that your mind won't be cluttered.

There are times when you'll have to fly solo in

order to accomplish personal goals.

It's true that we'll need the help of others at some point,

however,it's ok to take time to reflect,replan and reset

new ideas in order to go higher.

Food For Thought

Alone time always does us

good when it's for revelation of sorts

an awakening or

simply to relax the mind & body.

Matthew 17:20

If you have faith the size of a mustard seed,

you can say to this mountain,

"move from here to there" and it will move.

Nothing will be impossible for you.

Food For Thought

It's always best to review

"The Word"

for yourself.
