Halloween Angel
A palomino angel wandered across the heavens one day. He lit down upon the earth as he went along his way.
Around him he saw people dressed as spirits and sprites. Ghost and goblins seemed to rule the night.
As the children laughed and played, in the gloaming darkness the angel could see true demons hiding in the shadows around them. These real monsters too laughed and cheered. All the children wanted to be like them. They wanted the darkness and fright.
What fun is light. Light is soft and silly. Light is weak. Children want more excitement on Halloween night.
The angel was sad. Couldn’t they see where the real strength lay? Usually the angel worked in the background, shrouded in silence. This Halloween it was apparent his job would be best done clearly seen.
Bowing his head he asked his God to show him clearly.
Then, ready for battle, wings spread wide, he stepped forth into the night. Clothed in the full armor of God he joined the children in their fright. He would show the the truth of strength and grace, of goodness and light.
“Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand” Ephesians 6:10-17
