The spooky night is over, and it’s All Hallow’s Day.  A day to celebrate saints.  And since all followers of the Christ get to live in his grace, it seems it is a day to remember all of those who follow the Christ, and to acknowledge the grace and the promises it holds!

11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:11-23 (NIV)

Wow, I am still so embarrassed about the text of yesterday’s post. These ramblings are quite often full of bad grammar and typos, but not one that changes the meaning so violently. Anyway, i am glad you are able to move past it and not unsubscribe.

Today is All Hallows’ Eve, a very interesting holiday that you should spent a little but of time reading about. But in modern times it’s become the start of the Holiday season, and that’s because OCT 31 = DEC 25 ( math joke!).

So to celebrate this “holiday ” here is a little song from Disneyland.

With all this talk of souls and spirits, my mind goes to this quote from Mary.

And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, (Luke 1:46 KJV)

Let us let our souls magnify the Lord on this day dedicated to spirits.

ok .. can’t believe that typo got in there this morning.  So sorry about that.  I was using text to voice this morning to blog.  I don’t recall actually saying that!  :). Naught Autocorrect !

I love this part of the story of Joseph the best. Joseph responds with such grace and mercy to his brothers. It is impressive to see how he knows that God is working through him. Let’s follow his example today as we let God use us for good.

As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive. (Genesis 50:20 NASB)

I don’t have much time to write this morning, but I did hear someone talking about Joseph, the great leader of Egypt and how The Lord was with him even when things were just a little tough for him.

Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, the Lord was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. (Genesis 39:20, 21 NIV)

Think about that and know that he is with you as well.
