R The costume is white or light-colored so driv- ers can easily see it, or it is decorated with re- flective tape that glows in headlights.

R It’s short enough to avoid tripping my child.

R Costume props like swords and magic wands are soft and flexible, with rounded, not sharp, Halloween edges.

R The shoes my child will wear are flat-heeled and fit properly to avoid causing falls. Trick-Or-Treat

It happens every year this way, Perhaps that’s why “virtual reality,” which I’m sure that you all recall. Is a phrase that has become so vast!

But, I for one find this change too fast, anyway, it’s been a good journey, almost like, the “Blink of an Eye.” with fond memories of those days of yore From memorial day to labor day, and I’m thankful for the many good things, my how the time does fly! I just wish that I’ll have a few more.

It wasn’t always like this of course, But at the rate that time seems to be flowing Before cell phones, iPods and such. I’m not expecting a lot of time left to roam. Everything seemed to be at an easier pace, Because judging by the way it’s been going, and things all had a personal touch. I think I’m three quarters of the way home!

I’d like to feel His miracles cannot be questioned, He is constantly by my side Certainly not by me and I pray He is there all you need do is look around you Beaming full of pride. His miracles are everywhere to see.

He shows His love in many look up there’s the sky mysterious ways look down there’s the earth His methods I’m sure, look around there are birds that fly would only amaze. and His greatest miracle of all, you and I.
