Pesach Happenings

Pesach (Passover) and The Feast of Unleavened Bread

have come to an end this year

and I was able to take some time to look through

some of the moments that we captured.

One of the things we enjoyed this year

was our new board game - Let My People Go.

We chuckled at the rhymes 

as we made our way through the Exodus.

We, also, painted pillowcases to put on our pillows

that we brought with us to the seder (order of the Passover meal) we attended. 

We "experimented" with adding some tradition this year

and using pillows during the seder is a tradition that it used

to celebrate/commemorate not having to eat

the Passover meal in haste, as in the first Passover.

This is something we are still studying

but, this year, we did bring our pillows along

because we joined a traditional seder.

This was our first year to spend Passover with other people.

Who shall ascend into the hill of YHVH? 

or who shall stand in his set-apart place?
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart...

Psalm 24:3-4

During the evening, the children put on a skit,

taking us through the plagues and the exodus.

It was a blessing to witness.

Putting the blood on the door posts

The death of the first borns

Pharoah was relentless...

We were all tickled to see Daddy do his part...

The evening was a new experience and a blessing in many ways.

The following afternoon/evening, the group we meet with

went through the parts of the Passover meal, as well.

It was a joy to meet for fellowship both times

and to hear, learn, and discuss the various applications.

Though I've only shared photos,

there was much more going on behind the scenes...

And though I may not have had some awesome revelation,

the Ruach (Spirit) was at work in my heart and mind

and it was a deep joy to draw nearer to the Father during this time.

I doubt that I will ever cease to be amazed at Abba's feast days.

They are like nothing I had ever experienced with other "holidays".

I will be eternally grateful that, in His mercy and lovingkindess,

He opened my eyes and changed my heart and mind.

Thank You, Abba.

I love You.
