My family gave out gospel tracts sometimes too, but it has been years since we lived in a neighborhood where there was much "trick or treating" done. It's a good idea to use that opportunity to give the gospel.<br /><br />Thank you for your encouragement. :-)Mary E.

We did not participate nor allow our children to participate in un-Hallowed Eve, and taught them early "why not". We got plenty of harassment from "frien's & relations" (Rabbit from Winnie-the-Pooh), but felt its better to please the Lord than people. As for our children, we always tried to have fun with them away from that scene so it would not be a miserable night for them (sometimes they wanted to help give the gospel tracts; other times we had a game and special meal, etc.). Thanks for standing strong and encouraging others to do so!

May the true of these things be made known so that repentance can come about. May we seek ever after the Lord and His straight and narrow way that leads to life!

I know that sometimes it is a lonely position. Mary E.

We learned so much about the history behind it. We studied scripture and prayed. We decided to not raise him up participating in it the way we did growing up. Our son will be 20 years old next week. He says he's glad we never celebrated it and that he don't feel he missed out on anything from this evil holiday. Thanks for sharing this informative post.

It is good to stay informed, but so very sad to see the way Christian people fall for the lies and strange ways as seen amongst the heathen.Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14304537325454972400noreply@blogger.com
