Hey! Haven't heard from you for awhile!...Jamie,<br />Hey! Haven't heard from you for awhile! How've you been? Isn't it good when your kids say something that says they "get it" and (especially) that they're grateful for the decisions you've made and direction you've gone? Aahhh, makes it all worthwhile.<br />WendyWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230575436747893912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858170935046417472.post-5044678713055861522010-11-05T09:25:04.034-05:002010-11-05T09:25:04.034-05:00Oh, it's so good to hear (or read, I guess) of...Oh, it's so good to hear (or read, I guess) of others who don't "do" Halloween. We have never done it with our kids, and although there are times with our eldest that we have to go over again why we don't celebrate it, I'm so thankful we've taken that stand. We always do something else as a family and this year our daughter looked at me and said she wouldn't have wanted to do anything else!<br />Yay!! It's working. Thanks for sharing what you're thankful for this week!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574653924255126134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858170935046417472.post-75115574269892914802010-11-05T08:51:48.898-05:002010-11-05T08:51:48.898-05:00Thanks for sharing!

I'd be interested to know if you've done reading about the origins of Halloween, talked to others or studies and prayed about it, or what led you to your choices. Did you used to do it differently? How old are your children? Thanks again for sharing!<br />Blessings,<br />WendyWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230575436747893912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858170935046417472.post-23343430711240998592010-11-04T21:53:35.940-05:002010-11-04T21:53:35.940-05:00My husband and I are religious and we still celebr...My husband and I are religious and we still celebrate Halloween in a different way of costume. Not the scary ones though. We didn't go house to house to strangers but to our friends only. Nice to hear that your family had a great time together.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.heartscontentofamama.com/2010/11/thankful-thursday.html" rel="nofollow">My Thankful Thursday post here</a>Mel_Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12043400637021077350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858170935046417472.post-39651554304193347312010-11-04T16:17:26.941-05:002010-11-04T16:17:26.941-05:00Thanks, Toia!

Pray and the Lord will lead you to what you should do, but we have definitely found this is the one time of the year people are very receptive to being given something--they almost expect it! And they're sometimes excited, even without knowing this could be the best thing they'll ever receive!<br />Blessings,<br />WendyWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230575436747893912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858170935046417472.post-37918866921135997622010-11-04T15:40:49.584-05:002010-11-04T15:40:49.584-05:00What a great way to take authority over the holida...What a great way to take authority over the holiday so that God can still get the glory!!!
