Tuesday is Mommy Playgroup Day!
Sukkot - Feast of Tabernacles!
This year our family celebrated one of the Lord's Feasts, The Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkot! It's a time to remember how faithful our God is...that He is our provider and to remember when the Israelites were freed from slavery from the Egyptians...and how God "tabernacled" or "dwelt with" his people during the 40 years in the desert. We also remember Jesus Christ's birthday, as it is thought to be the more accurate time-frame, that during this time He was born in Jerusalem...again we remember God coming to "dwell" with his people! A time of JOY and thanksgiving!
We made a "Sukkah" on our front porch to resemble how the Israelites tabernacled with God for 40 years in the wilderness. It was a time of great challenge...but God was their provider! Their shoes never fell apart nor their clothes, and he provided their food from heaven, manna! The tradition is to build a Sukkah to remember the times when our ancestors "roughed it" in the wilderness...but yet we exalt God because he remained faithful to provide for their every need! Well... I decided to go on a palm branch hunt in our empty lot behind our house. I was determined...but it had gotten dark, so Patrick decided to take the truck and shine the headlights in order to find some palm fronds. Well....because of my stubbornness...the truck got stuck. I mean...really bad! We had a dear friend come help us pull it out! Of course the Moran's always have to have a funny story to go along with their "firsts" in life! So there it is!!!

Patrick & Jeanne Celebrate Five Years of Marriage
August 7, 2009 my hubby and I celebrated five glorious years in the Lord! We decided to make the day exciting and celebrate by agreeing to surprise each other. We each would have one hour to blindfold the other, take them in the car to a special place, and have a surprise waiting. Well...Patrick surely knocked my socks off!! I went blindfolded into the car for a joyous car ride like none other i had experienced. He went in circles trying to confuse me :) When we "arrived" I found myself standing in our little chapel just like 5 years ago, with a beautiful bouquet of calla lillies. We were re-commiting our vows! There to perform the ceremony was our friends, Denny & Cindy, how precious to share this beautiful event. We took communion with our Lord Jesus Christ and even had a moment to, "kiss the bride!" It was beyond meaningful to me!!
Then it was my turn to blindfold Patrick! I took him to our reception hall where we had our first dance, we danced to it again, and also read some meaningful things I have learned about him within the past five years!!!
We concluded the night with a wonderful meal at Mario's Bistro. Our night was seamless and perfect. All glory to our successful marriage goes to God, who has been our "glue". The Holy Spirit working in our lives is overwhelming to see and experience, what an amazing God we serve!!
