Good Morning,
I am enjoying a hot cup of Door County Pumpkin Spice Coffee and an apple before I head out to work the election polls in our city. I am proud to be helping out for the early voting and looking forward to the main election day.
Matthew 25:40 And the King will answer them. "Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least, of these my brothers, you did it to Me."
Last Sunday afternoon/evening our city observed Trick Or Treat. Our neighbor Donna and myself set up a table between our two yards and handed out candy to the children and some parents as they went trick or treating from house to house. We encountered all different kinds of costumes and some were quite ingenious. I will say this. Just about every child who was old enough to speak said thank you after they received their candy. Only a few took the candy and departed without acknowledging the gift. It was a pleasant experience for my wife Rene and I to be joining our neighbor once more to take part in a neighborhood event. Rene would come out and visit us and resupply me with candy. She would also ask us if we needed anything else.
In a world where there is so much strife, bitterness and rage, it was nice just to see folks be generous and for others to appreciate it with a "Thank You".
So if you have the opportunity to pass out some candy and show kindness to strangers, take a chance and participate. Be hospitable.
Marty
