Building a Sukkah with friends and family.

Sabra and Shaul invited us over to help them build their Sukkah this year.  We had a great time bonding with the Katsav's, Aime, and the Miller Family along with their 3 amazing teenage daughters. 
Sabra and Shaul inspired us so we built our own makeshift Sukkah in our back yard with the help of PawPaw. 

Landon built one our of Lego's, and yes that is a banana hanging from the roof. 
Kelly also built one out of the bristle blocks. 

It has been so great to remember how the Israelites lived for 40 years in the wilderness.  We are so thankful that the Lord chooses to dwell among us today through his Holy Spirit, and are reminded that he also dwelt among the Israelites back then in a pillar of cloud by day and fire by night.  What a blessing and privilege to be in the presence of the Lord.

It was wonderful fun to read through the Old Testament with you 8 years ago. Learning about the Journey God sent His people on and His desire to be near, continues to encourage me today. May your children bring the ongoing encouragement that comes from the knowledge of His love with them... their whole lives long!
