Today is October first, the day that officially begins the Halloween season for my wife and me. I'm a fan of Halloween. It's one of my favorite holidays. I never went trick or treating. And when I say Halloween, I don't mean All Hallow's Eve, nor Samhain. I just like candy and cool costumes (even though I don't dress up), and I love scary movies.. I like the classic flicks like Nosferatu and pretty much everything with Vincent Price. and I like current films as well. There's just not enough time on Halloween alone to watch all the movies we want to watch, so we start on the first of October and and concentrate on scary movies and thrillers for our movie time during the month. In anticipation we begin choosing films and making a list of what we will be viewing a few weeks in advance. It's a time of anticipation and celebration for us.
But there s something more amazing than Halloween. More precious than Christmas. More to look forward to than Easter. Something we can anticipate with eager hope and joy than every holiday combined. Jesus is coming back. It's going to be epic, but we don't have to wait to enjoy it. That moment is going to be an instant that kicks off eternity. But while we wait,we can get in the spirit of things and pursue a deeper relationship with the Lord now. We don't have to wait. The joyous praise and fellowship we will have in eternity can't be fully enjoyed now, but it can be tasted. Let the eternal celebration of who He is and our love for Him begin today and go on and on until that wonderful day and beyond.
