Raise A Hallelujah
It's a Hallelujah party.
We are not huge fans of Halloween. I am not into spooky even though my name is Boo. When our children were young we'd offer them dinner out, $10 each and a trip to Toys R Us to buy whatever they wanted with that money. (Yes, $10 went a lot further 35 years ago. I was just suckered into paying $15 for a tiny LEGO figure.) The whole evening was done wearing costumes. We actually liked dressing up year round in costumes and still do!
Nowadays, with the grands, we gather at Shiloh for a Hallelujah weekend! We have a blast. We post adults at 6 exterior doors and the children go around the house 3 times to receive treats at each door where the adults are playing praise songs on their cell phones. Instead of Trick or Treat you raise a "Hallelujah!"
Some of the events this year included rides in our Mule (a week vehicle, not an animal), in the dark, making the deer scatter, leaf sledding down a big hill in the woods, swimming in our daughter's heated pool since it was 80 degrees outside, and candy building design. Using colorful Twizzlers, toothpicks, rubber bands and other assorted candies they designed a roller coaster, battleship, log cabin, tank, Mario car and more!
It was a joyful time with no tricks, witches or goblins, just the treat of being together and praising the Lord.
After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God."..Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns." Revelation 19:1, 6
