For All The Saints

Tonight I'm handing out candy at the door as Trick-or-Treaters come by dressed in scary and funny costumes! All Hallow's Eve. Tomorrow we celebrate All Saints Day. This is the day we remember those who have died and celebrate the ways they touched our lives. The word saint, though, often makes us think of perfect people or people who lived exemplary lives. Yet we need look no further than our New Testaments to see that saints are most often regular people with plenty of flaws. Peter, James and John were by no means perfect. Yet even in their imperfections, they did amazing things. They are the saints of our faith.

On All Saints Day I will give thanks for many saints of my life, including my grandmother. My Gram was by no means perfect, yet she lived her faith and taught me by example. Who will you give thanks for this All Saints Day? Who are the saints of your life?
