Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Friday night was great ! Brittany and I played Outburst Junior and we found there were a lot of funny things that game could bring to mind . We laughed and had a great time. Then we went out for ice cream . Saturday Robert was not feeling well so Brittany and I went to see One Night With the King at Tinseltown. It was a very well done film about the story of Esther the orphan girl who became queen. I was very glad we had chose to go and see it. They added some events to the story . There was very little changing of actual events though. So it just showed her inviting him to one feast instead of three. The significance of what she was doing was not lost by that little change. Several times I felt inspired by the Holy Spirit to take a stand and do what Christ asked me to do, regardless of the consequences. Esther did not want to die, but she was willing to die. There is never a hard and fast guarantee that what we want to happen will happen. People are given a free will to chose. Sometimes others choices cause what we would like to happen, not happen. Still , God is good, all the time.

Still getting Ready For the Feast of Tabernacles

the joy of preparing for the feast has just been indescribable. I thought at first that it was strange that I was wanting to celebrate the feast so early in the year, yet I just knew I had this burning desire to prepare to celebrate the goodness of the LORD. So I set a date, I told people this is what I was about to do. For some reason it just seemed like the celebration should start at sun down on Friday. Then I and my family , did celebrate the goodness of the LORD. We sang songs together, we ate good food together, we played the Christian version of the Ungame together, we played a few other games together. My heart was full of joy. Joy unspeakable . At sometime, during the week of preparing or during the celebration, I don't know now, it occurred to me that I was not preparing to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles but to observe the Sabbath ! Maybe not the way the Jewish people observe the Sabbath but the way I was feeling led by the Holy Spirit to observe it. So then I reasoned, do I need to do this on only one week end a year ? Can I not do this every week end ? In my heart , I heard "yes." And so I have been doing this weekly celebration of how good the LORD is . I thought of how many people there are that would perhaps to like to join in with me and my family doing something fun, so I started asking others to come to my house and join in. So far no one has responded. They always have plans, but that is okay. My plan has been set and will always be set now to celebrate the goodness of the LORD on the Sabbath. It is a great way to end the week. I do not have any regret , but joy , as I look forward to Friday coming every week now.
