Sukkot

A friend wanted me to write about what I did this Sukkot. Sukkot is what some people consider a Jewish holiday (But if you read it correctly, it isn't anyone's holiday, it is one of the L-rd's feasts) and it represents the wandering in the wilderness because we camp out for 7 days. Unfortunately the place they had last year was taken this year, so instead of camping, they had a campfire at the pastor's house every night. The first few nights it was cold and rainy, but by Friday night, it was beautiful. Of course we had a special service at the beginning and last Shabbat was a High Shabbat because it is during the feast. That was amazing because we were watching one of my son's friends, so he got to go, my daughter and her boyfriend went because she is writing a paper on my "religion" (I put religion in quotes because I don't observe a religion, but have a relationship) and the group of church people who wanted to visit to learn more was the pastor and his wife whose church I used to go to. It was really good seeing them again. And of course we had a birthday cake for Yeshua (they spell it differently than I do and that is why it is not spelled the way I do) and as you can see in the picture it was very large, in fact too large that some of it was taken home by various people and I know there was still some left over. This is a time when we are commanded to rejoice and rejoicing, even when one doesn't feel like it, can change our attitudes real quick. So by the time the last day arrived, I was not ready to give it up, I wanted more. I really love these feasts, not because of all the food (we still have leftovers) or the good times, but the changes it makes in everyone.
