I've uploaded some pages for the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot or Sukkoth) and Hanukkah (or Chanukah) to my group. Since the Feast of Tabernacles begins tomorrow at sunset, I though it would be a great thing for my kids to do to learn more about it.
I am really interested in the Biblical Feasts and want to share their significance with my children. I was amazed a while ago when I was reading that most of the feasts were a "lasting ordinance." In other words, God wanted them to be observed year after year as a remembrance and looking forward to things to come. Jesus himself also is recorded to have observed the Feasts and he never (as far as I've read) told us that they are no longer necessary to observe...although the sacrifices associated with them are no longer necessary. Does that mean that you're going to lose your standing with God if you don't observe them? Of course not. That is a conviction and between you and God. But I am fascinated with them and have grown so much in my understanding of God and His Word by learning more about them. Passover this year has been a huge eye-opener. I have had Passover meals in years past, but it wasn't until this year that I started to see how Passover played a huge role in the Last Supper and in our observance of Communion/the Lord's Supper. Understanding the deeper symbolism of the elements, it has become a much more solemn event. (That sounded like the "Deeper Magic from Before the Dawn of Time" quote from The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. LOL )
Seriously, I love the Feasts and I hope that God continues to teach me through them. I feel like the more I learn about God's Word, there is even more that I still have to learn.

Welcome to my blog...Why "gidget"? Well...my husband tried to teach me how to surf before we were married. I was lousy at it, but he called me his "gidget" and the name stuck.
Why "Treasure Trove"? I love sharing about my sweet little "treasures"...and God has blessed me beyond measure....and no, I didn't mean that to rhyme.
