The sky was dark, the moon was out, and all the little children were going door to door dressed in costumes shouting Trick-Or-Treat”.

I watched as my Lil one put his King Arthur Costume on and ran down stairs ready to go! While we drove through the streets we saw super hero’s, witches, and goblins. I was asking myself why do I even leave my home on this night full of darkness and evil. I was a little confused as to what I thought of halloween night.

We stopped the car to let all the little vampires cross the street and then we turned the corner… There it was …The reminder of why I was not home waiting for this night to be over!

It was a park located in the center of a dark neighborhood, surrounded by the homes of low income families.

That night the Park  became a place full of light and full of people sharing the  love of God!

There was free hot dogs, cotton candy, games, music, prayer booths and most important God’s Presence!!

The Church was there halloween night shinning it’s light for all the neighborhood to see! What was I thinking? Why would I give up even one night for the enemy! Every day belongs to the Lord and even in the darkness His Light will not be hidden!

I was touched to see how many people went up for prayer and I enjoyed watching the smile on the little children as they ran and played in a safe place.

It was totally awesome to see not only our church there but several other churches joining the Vineyard to make this night happen!!

May God bless all of you who gave of your time to be a blessing to that Glendale neighborhood. Your good deeds brought glory to our Father! You reminded me once again that everyday is the day the Lord has made we should rejoice and be glad in it!!

How about you? Do you allow your light to shine in the darkness that surrounds your life?

“Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16

Love, Eva  :)

    God did NOT give any days to satan. None. All days are the days the Lord has made. We rejoice and are glad in all of them. Celebrate that we have all days to worship Him and share His Son.
    Thanks Eva.

    Well said my sister in Christ. I believe it was a blessing to have all the church’s get together in the city of Glendale and show His blessing and never ending love He has for His children. Thank you for all those who volunteered their time and efforts to make this happen. My mom believes in God, but she doesn’t have a church she attends to daily and never has, because of events like this people could dedicate their lives to God and make us new. I am still hoping a praying for some of my family members and friends that are still lost.

    Thank you Eva and God Bless
