Approaching Passover





Happy Holy Week! 

I wanted to take some time to share with you an exciting Jewish celebration coming up: PASSOVER!  



The feast of Passover is one of the most important Jewish festivals & it starts tomorrow (4/8/2020)! It is known as Pesach in Hebrew. You can find the original Passover story in Exodus 12. It is an intriguing story about how God freed the Israelites from slavery. Traditionally it lasts 7-8 days. As a family, we generally only take part in the Seder meal, which has specific rituals and names. 



In the past, I have added it to our homeschool week and celebrated it in our home in some form. This year we have added the Days United Passover Box, which I am super excited about!
Have you ever celebrated with you family? I was blessed to be able to share with my Bible study group a few years ago. Last year, we had member of Jews For Jesus visit our church to illustrate the beautiful Seder meal. They have a FREE Livestream experience that you can take part in by following the Jews For Jesus link. 


If you are looking for ways to include this celebration into your homeschool day, I have found some great resources:

This one has great ideas on how to celebrate. I love the idea of putting up a red ribbon on our door frame. It also has the idea of washable red paint, if you have some.

I printed out 4 of these so that my kiddos (even my teens!) can color them. I am incorporating into our day today (day before Passover) so they are familiar with the terms.

For those with younger ones, this looks like a great early reader book. There are 20 nice coloring pages that I wish I had seen when my kiddos were younger.

 Have a happy 😃, HOPE-filled day 🕇

Praying for you 🙏

Sorry I have been quiet these last few months. I wish I could say it's because I have been super productive... Honestly, I have been struggling. Unsure of what to say... These strange times have drawn me to my knees more often than ever before. I  have felt weak...troubled... heartbroken... Last week during church worship, it all came streaming out. I couldn't stop the tears. I walked into church h...

  "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith"  Heb 12:3  Happy Sunday!  I don't know about you, but the days have all blended together. We had church service from our couch, again. I really am not sure what/how I feel about it. My soul longs for fellowship! I truly look forward to the day when my church family can be together again 💖     When all is so scary in our world, it can be hard to look past the bleak & dreary. I don't want to lose sight of the season we are quickly approaching. 2 weeks away til Passion Week , then Resurrection (Easter) Sunday ❗❗ With all kiddos @ home, I think it's perfect to take advantage of this time to disciple them.

Take a look & let me know what you think 😊 ...
