April Showers Bring May Flowers

After a couple of weeks of warm sunshine we have a cold wet day today. I hear tell it will be warmer next week and that’ll be nice. I don’t mind the rain and cold, I just think that it’s funny that after it being 95F at my house (that doesn’t happen often), then today it may be about 65F. Just goes to show that we aren’t in control and we never know what our Father has in store for us.
We are now at the start of the month of Elul and are very excited. This is our first time celebrating the Fall Feasts so we are a bit nervous. But Adonai is gracious and He understands that that we are still learning, always learning. Last night Derek was able to blow the shofar (ram’s horn) for the first time, with Adonai’s helps. It was loud and it was great! The children laughed and begged for more. According to tradition he is supposed to blow it everyday leading up to Rosh Hashanah so they will get their fill over the next 40 days. I need to get a picture of him blowing it.
With all that said we have a very neglected house (spent most of the week outside in the dirt, I was actually reading) so we must clean for Shabbat. How sweet that day of rest is. Our Father in all His wisdom knew how much we would need it and I am so thankful for it. Shalom!
