A Christian Pumpkin


This is something we did about 3 years ago. Aaron was too little to carve his own pumpkin and I'm not really fond of scary-faced jack-o-lanterns. i found this on the internet and I was really impressed by it. So much so that I even printed up the poem and handed it out with candy hoping that more Christians will display these for Halloween.
A Christian Pumpkin
---------------------
I am a Jack O' Lantern
My light will shine so bright
For I am a Christian pumpkin
My symbols tell what's right.
My nose is like the cross
on which our Savior died
To set us free from sin
We need no longer hide.
My mouth is like a fish
The whole wide world to show
That Christians live in this house
And love their Savior so!
The story starts at Christmas
My eyes are like the star
That shone on Baby Jesus
And wise men saw from far.
My color it is orange
Just like the big bright sun
That rose on Easter Day
Along with God's own Son.
And so on Halloween
Let's set our pumpkins out
And tell the trick or treaters
What God's love is all about!
