Friday - Party
I have caught a cold and so I am not sleeping well, that causes me to lay in bed thinking… your mind just tumbling stuff over and over and I spent 3+ hours imagining what I wanted to say at the party we have planned to give thanks and set people straight for the reasons for the party.
It may be a party with costumes, ghosts, goblins and the like but its not a party celebrating All Hallows Eve or Halloween as we know it today. Its a party to fellowship with one another in a safe environment, God will be there as he is always in our house, he is a permanent guest within our walls and in our hearts.
The first party we had last year was a Hallow-House-Warming as it was our first house and the first opportunity we had ever had to throw a party and invite more than 3 people which ended up being a crowd in our basement suite before.
This year the party has been a GodSend, its allowed Michelle and I to focus on something fun for the last few months and its been a healing experience, taking her mind away from the stresses of what other things in her life caused her to have to take stress leave. She is finally getting back to being the woman I fell in love with 4 years ago.
I was rehearsing in my head last night over and over how I wanted people to understand that this party is something enjoy, Satan is not on the guest list, we will make sure that the kids are in a safe environment and that the night is a fun fellowship and the only ghost that will be present is the Holy Spirit.
Please don’t give Michelle and I a hard time over this, its a fun time for us being horror and fantasy film fans, please do not consider us “marked” people as one person said openly to Michelle face. We do this with our hearts and minds focused on Jesus.
