The assignment is to share anything related to pumpkins and share another scripture that comes to heart.

I believe my Mom got this idea from my Aunt, and I've carried it on over the years. I realize many families don't agree with our practice, but we choose to use Oct. 31 as an opportunity to offer hospitality to our neighbors, and we do as much as we can to include grace-filled symbolism.

The Great Pumpkin

"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."

Matthew 5:14-16
