Wow, this was absolutely outstanding. Thank you for such a lovely, well-thought, and thought-provoking essay to consider on Halloween as we turn on our porch light and wait for trick-or-treaters we know aren't coming, because neighbors don't know each other anymore, and the kids all went trunk-or-treating already.
Thank you! And I appreciate you saying that about turning on your porch light tonight. I was thinking about that as I wrote this, how I love seeing neighbors actually outside and visiting with others on Halloween (when the weather cooperates, which it won't this year).
Just lovely to see the way you brought these three themes together so artfully. Repentance and forgiveness as the antidote to loneliness….I will be thinking on that this week! Thank you!
