We use Beggar’s Night to bring a bunch of family friends over. The kids go trick-or-treating around the neighborhood while pizzas continuously roll out of the oven. The girls dressed up as Jessie the cowgirl from Toy Story and Tinkerbell. Tinkerbell didn’t like going to the first strange house, so she helped Dad pass out candy at the house.
Most of the kids wore costumes I could figure out: Wonder Woman, Freddy Krueger, Predator, and even Pink and Red Power Rangers. The strangest visitors were two girls around 9 or 10. One was dressed up in a red and black dress, the other in a blue dress with gold Stars of David and Hebrew script.
Me: “Okay, you look like some sort of princess, but what is she?”
Red: “She’s a priest.”
Me: “A priest? Would that make her a priestess?”
Red giggles and regains composure. She hands me a Ziploc bag with standard candy and a piece of orange paper folded into a card. “We thought it was better to give than to receive.”
We thought that was an interesting change. My wife then asks if they wouldn’t mind taking some of our stuff anyway. They had a big “Happy Hallowed” party afterwards. The card, authored in not the best English, read that they were from a “Full Gospel Sons, Church of God,” and we just got delivered a Gospel message.
I wonder if they keep count of this sharing of the Gospel on a web site somewhere…
