HANUKAH

This picture has nothing to do with this blog but is just a picture of a pretty girl taken at her grandkid's birthday party. She has twelve grandkids, five children, and one fortunate husband.

OOPS!

I am not Jewish. My Saviour is but I am a Gentile. Also I am a pastor who tries to teach the importance of Jewish culture. My Bible is full of that. If I am going to learn about the people who wrote my Bible and are called the chosen of God I need to learn all I can. So I am open to learn new stuff.

Here comes the oops.

Last year after Hanukah I was working at a Longs Drug store and there was a sale of a beautiful little Menorah and some nice little candles. Ah, I thought, this is cool. Next year I will do the Hanukah service at our church and we will all learn about this Jewish holiday. I did know the holiday had to do with a miraculous providing of dedicated oil for the Temple 200 years before Christ.

In getting ready for this I find it is a family thing that isn’t a service but a home devotional. I will figure out how to introduce it to our folks but only as an informative illustration.

Real Christians pray for the peace of Jerusalem and love the Jewish people.
