After partying with our church family, it was a mad dash for candy in our subdivision. Liliana totally got into the trick-or-treating scene, racing from house to house like it was a timed event. 
She worked so hard to reach every doorbell and waited patiently on the doorstep looking so sweet and angelic. Then, as soon as each unsuspecting neighbor placed a bowl in front of her, she grabbed the biggest handful she could muster and immediately stuffed it into her bag. One person asked her, "How many would you like?" And without skipping a beat, she exclaimed, "Too many!"
As we moved from house to house, Liliana bravely approached the "spooky stuff" while calmly telling herself, "Don't be afraid. God is with you." Much to my surprise, she walked right up to the home with the creepiest scene like it was no big deal. To be honest, I was a little weirded out by the critters, so she was fearless.
At the end of the evening, she sat on the floor and enjoyed the spoils. She gathered all of the candy around her and joyously began throwing pieces in the air. What a joy. Even though Halloween is one of my least favorite holidays, seeing my daughters excitement and enthusiasm made this one of the best days of my life.
Hope your day is filled with simple pleasures. ~Ramona
