Holiday season is upon us. Visit any store and they are evidence of the time of year. As I thought about the prompt word and the upcoming holidays, I thought about how it relates to our Christian walk.
Today is Halloween. Yes, that means I am writing a few days late, but better late than never. I live in a small community 
where despite turning off the lights in hope to avoid tricks, I still get the little trick-or-treat children. This year I gave in and got candy since I know they are coming.
Halloween night is much like many people’s Christian walk. They visit God briefly, get what they want from Him and leave. He is delighted for the visit, gives us what we need because He is gracious and loves us. However, our visit is really one-sided, to get what we came for; much like the little dressed up characters that will be knocking on my door.
meal. Thanksgiving also represents a little different walk with God, the Sunday Christian. They visit, fellowship with other believers and maybe even God, they give thanks, get fed spiritually and then go on their way. Again, God loves to have a visit from His children, but it is still lacking.
Then there is Christmas. One of my favorite memories as a child was having my aunt and cousin visit with us Christmas night and stay till late on Christmas day. It seemed that it stretched out the celebration. We would watch old home videos and reminisce. We would make ornaments. There was fellowship, giving thanks, great food, general fun, exchange of gifts, sweet treats, and a long visit that sometimes would span more days.
