i was picking alexa up this morning from her "school" and outside her friends(twins) were walking down the steps. we said hi and the mom asked alexa what she was going to be for halloween....
we obviously do not celebrate halloween. however, we have talked to alexa about it. it is everywhere! especially where we live. i do not believe that i need to hide or protect alexa from it, but to explain it (how she can understand it). then pray that god protects her mind and spirit rom whatever she may see.
at gymnastics a few weeks ago, alexa got bat stamps on her hands. i took the girls right to my dad's and asked him to wash the stams off. alexa come home talking about her 'demon bat stamps' :)
so, i told alexa that there was a day called halloween and it is a bad day that we do not celebrate. we do not celebrate it because halloween does not make jesus happy, and we only do things that make jesus happy.
so, back to alexa's school....the other mom asks alexa and she scrunches up her face and says, "no halloween. not make jesus happy." i said, we don't celebrate it. the mom said, 'good for you, you won't waste money on dental bills' and smiled. i laughed and walked away. interesting.
