40 years ago Youth For Christ would make up days to celebrate in order to attract young people to their meetings - "Red Sock Day," "Green Shirt Day."  For years our family hid in the back part of the house, in the dark, on Halloween, because we did not believe we should appear to celebrate an "evil," worldy, satanic day.  In the last few years, I realized that the children of the world were coming to my door every year and I turned them away.  I grieved the years that I wasted this "Red Sock Day" opportunity.  Now, I give out the higher priced candy I know they will appreciate best and depending on age, I give out colorful tracts, pictured Bible story books, scripture portions, Bibles, and my own life experiences written for a child to understand.  The children usually exclaim over the excellence of the candy I give and are likely more interested in reading what I put with it.  I save up and plan for this as I would Christian holidays.  All days are God's days given to us to see what we will do with them.
Anyone can be a missionary this way.  
Anyone can make a difference for the Kingdom.  
Anyone can painlessly witness without leaving their home.
This may be our last October 31 opportunity.
God will do the rest.
