Greetings Dear Reader,
The idea of things being hallowed is not as common to us as
it should be. To hallow something means
to set something aside as holy. This can
be a bit confusing as holy means to be set apart. Instead of pontificating on holiness I am going
to be very simple and perhaps provide an image that may be helpful for our journey.
We are all supposed to be set apart to God. The idea of being holy is not really given the
attention it should. We do not focus on
the real purpose of Halloween. The
Father wishes for us to be set apart to him.
I have been using an image this month as I see the
decorations, lights, and jack-o-lanterns appear around town. That image is focused on the pumpkins. I am using the idea of a pumpkin, hollowed
out, re imaged by the creator, and filled with light to remind me to be
holy. Again, I do not mean the prideful
approach to holiness that is false and hypocritical. I am talking about being set apart to the
Father as an obedient and loving child.
My desire is to remember that I am supposed to be emptied of
self. I am supposed to be recreated by
the father to the image he wishes. Then
I am supposed to be filled with his light so that others can see what God does
with his creation.
Enjoy your fancy dress parties and your children walking
through the neighborhood to get candy. I
intend to see the pumpkins amidst the mirth and remind my heart and soul that
we are all supposed to be hallowing our hearts for the holy days ahead. I will be asking the Father to hollow me out
and fill me with his light and love.
Happy Halloween Dear Reader.
May this holy day be safe and filled with the same for you.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
