I wrote a piece for the Rabbit Room about the evolution of Halloween in the Gray household and how we worked through the tensions of what for some is a controversial holiday. For many it’s no big deal, for others it’s a matter of great concern. Here's how we made peace with it:http://www.rabbitroom.com/?p=4623

I read this piece and loved it. We all get so caught up in thinking every thing in this world is wicked. I believe we can be a light to this world by the way we celebrate this holiday. Just like every thing else God has created a day that is referred to as October 31st and man and the devil have made it evil. Today is a day to let your light shine to believers and unbelievers alike. We should not let the devil steal this festive holiday. I believe this a celebration of harvest. By showing GOD's love and not condemnation we will have a harvest of souls. Treat this holiday not merley as Halloween but as harvest day.  Like any holiday we turn the focus on the wrong meaning and it becomes a ungodly event. Some people think CHRISTmas trees are bad but remember we all have birthday cakes that are decorated why should we not decorate a tree that last longer to celebrate Christ's birth. If you teach your children the real purpose of gift giving and holiday participation than you are not cheating your children and family out of the joy and freedom GOD in Heaven has created us to have.  If unbelievers are to see us by our fruit why not show them that satan has not influence on our holidays. That we do not have to shy away from a special event in life just because man and the devil have said it is to be unholy. My conclusion is put your focus on what is right and holy and not let the devil steal a day of your life.  Put your thoughts on Jesus and not the one that wanted to be him.
