Oh, what gifts do we give?

And how do we live?

Life’s ups and downs we must navigate,

Be responsible and frugal or LIVE EXTRAVAGANT and NOT HESITATE. 

.

Maybe we just pray,

To DO SOMETHING today 

That makes someone else’s day.

Maybe we GO not stay,

GIVE A BEST SMILE – and say HEY.

Make OTEHRS feel good in a special way. 

.

On Halloween we can dress silly, 

Or an outfit all decked out fancy.

Or have spooky stuff that is fun,

Keep us laughing, not make us run.

.

On Halloween it’s about the GIVE, 

It’s about the kid in us ready to LIVE.

It’s the dressing up RIGHT,

Not overt fright or flight.

.

Sure, a little scare,

And beware.

But we can make Halloween into a day we show we care.

Laugh, smile, and care.

.

Lord, we are uniquely us.

You made us without a fuss.

You gave a spirit into life,

To love you and to love others, even in strife…

.

Lord today, help us share.

Help us smile without care.

Help us credit You and make others aware:

That blessings are not spooky spirits – blessings good are from You Magnificent and Mighty, Lord make us aware. 

.

And all the while, 

Give us a smile, 

We know we live life here for only a short while.

Laughter and Love never go out of style. 

.

Happy Halloween 

Amen
