Three Hallowed Days ~ Opening Thoughts

Greetings Dear Reader,

My younger Sisters and my friend Ashli are about to engage in their favorite weekend of the year.  As is my custom I will spend the next few days pondering what those days mean to me.  This year, I wish to focus on something that seems to have touched all of us.  This year we have all been touched by death. 

We all know someone who knows someone who has died this year.  Some of us have lost friends and family.  Whilst pumpkins, costumes, and candy fill the minds of those who see this as the day we have made it, I view these next three days as they are. 

Over this time, I will ponder that which is hallowed.  We will consider how whether there is belief or not there is truth.  I must ponder what I am to carry through these days.  How am I to follow well in these days? 

Before I dive into that I wish to pause a moment to state the obvious.  Not everyone who celebrates Halloween is evil.  They are not all engaging in devil worship.  Not everything about this day is wicked. 

Further, when we treat it that way, we miss the opportunity to show love and build bridges.  When we judge everyone by a narrow standard that rises from our own beliefs, we are also expecting those who do not believe to act like they are believers. This is always unjust. 

What I hope to do over the next three days is honor the observances that are part of our liturgical year and at the same time find new and better ways to follow Christ.  Adopting his attitude about all of this will enhance my ability to see Christ in the moment.  It will improve my perspective to see Jesus more clearly.  As always, Dear Reader, you are invited to join me on the journey.  Your thoughts and questions are always a treat and never a trick. 

Wishing you joy in the journey,
