Halloween Treat

Either we didn't buy as much candy as usual or we were well organized with it in little bags, but we did not have to stay out in front of the door for very long.

  

Probably the highlight of the Halloween evening was a young, trim mother who came up the walk with a little girl about 4. We dropped a bag in her little pumpkin and she and her mother went back down to their SUV. 

Someone else came and went.

Then, we realized that the first mother was coming back with the four year old following her while she held on to a special needs boy of about 10. As she guided him from hehind, he haltingly made it up the path and under his mother's guidance, held out a sack. We put a couple of bags in his and one in his sister's.

We felt honored that this boy's mother thought us special enough to bring her son to us for trick or treat! It was a very special moment for us. 

Every year, we have sat outside our front door, below the porch and this year was the gentlest year ever. 

God Bless that Mother and God Bless every little child who needs that extra help and love to go out for his first Halloween!
