Simple Saturday

Well, it was MEANT to be a Simple Saturday... but it got a bit busy!

I have been wanting to bring in a bit of a study of the Biblical Festivals (they are so wonderful for pointing to Jesus) and having just dug out my books again, I had found that today was Rosh Hashanah - Feast of Trumpets. I thought we'd have a quiet day together, a beautiful meal with best china and we'd dress up and have a fun time together... but it wasn't to be! Which is, of course, fine as we are not tied to the festivals anymore.

Our day started off with History Club at Hartlebury; and then we went to Morrisons for lunch... the best alternative we could think of to fit into our day as a Jewish New Year celebration. There were SO many people around, ugh! But, it was a good meal though.

Then we went to clean the church building, as it was my turn on the rota. It was nice and peaceful there and we were done in about an hour and a half. Then on to Tesco to do some shopping... again, huge amounts of people... it's not that I don't like people... it's just that I don't like them being in the shops I want to go in to!! They make me feel flustered! But, I guess that's what we get for going on a Saturday!

In the evening (when my head had recoverd from a headache... ) I gave the Prayer Board a bit of a make-over.

I'm thankful that our life doesn't revolve around Festivals and Feasts anymore, and that we can come to the Lord at ANY time.. and yet, it is good to look back and remember - remember the Goodness of God, and His provision for us, count our blessings... yes, it DOES do good to remember, as we too easily forget... how good to lift hands in Praise to Him... Jehovah Jireh.
