Trick or Treat with Good News

On occasion I pen some poetry.  I wrote a ditty for the kids at Halloween.  It has a limerick-like cadence and rhyme pattern to it.  I pass out my poem and candy to Trick or Treaters.  Doesn’t Scripture challenge us to “make the most of every opportunity”  and “be prepared in season?” (Ephesians 5:16, 2 Timothy 4:2)

The Good News comes with good treats.

If you would like to use my poem, please feel free.  I added some additional information on the back of the poem:  names of good local churches, and websites and apps for an explanation of the Gospel.  Depending on how you view my blog (via website, email or Facebook), you may not see the full text of the poem, so here it is:

I would love to hear how you spread the Gospel in your unique situations.

I participated in a neighborhood Trunk or Treat. I staged a fall barn scene in my “trunk.”

Wife, mother and grandmother, educator and someone who thinks about the things I observe. I am the daughter of a writer; my dad's career was in the field of journalism. More significantly, I am God's child, a person believing in Jesus Christ and in His timeless Word. Blogging is new to me but I feel like I've always had a pen in my hand. I jot notes in my planner, mark papers, underline verses, write many letters, and occasionally draft articles for work or church. When I am not holding a pen, I am probably cuddling a mug of coffee.
