LIGHT

I am up early in the dark waiting for the light.  Two men left last night promising to have our water line hooked up today.  I know the rain is coming but I hope not until the work is done.

Last night I was busy with our front porch at times crowded with strange creatures.  I am only too happy to get rid of the candy as the plain chocolate is too tempting for me, and for dad!

I was just about to turn out the porch light when I opened the door to a tall horrible creature.  He had an ugly mask and a body covered in mental and a claw for a hand.  He never said a word and I could not see his eyes.  He gave me the creeps.

I close the door quickly and do not even watch him leave.

The evening ended with the continual banging of fire crackers.  As a child there was the cracker that was the burning of the school house, a small little thing.  Would not be allowed today.

We are thankful for good neighbors who are always willing to help.

We want our home to be a place of safety and security,   warmth and love.
There continues to be more violence with tragedy in New York with a school bus the target.

Sometimes I feel a knot of fear that the world is just too full of darkness but the light dawns with the new day and I know I am surrounded with goodness.
