A Beautiful Let Down

This week we were blessed to host our church's School of Ministry as we celebrated Sukkot. We had such a wonderful time. Friday started Sukkot and we have been hosting evening gatherings since then. Last night was our last night with the School of Ministry. Technically Sukkot does not end until the end of this week.




Here is our Sukkah we built. It was such a beautiful evening.




We would have a fire each night and spend the evening eating
and fellowshipping in the Sukkah.


Last night was a bad wind storm in our area. Unfortunately our little Sukkah did not make it through. Today we will have to untangle it and hopefully salvage what we can. Our glass table survived the downfall and the chairs underneath of the Sukkah are all in tack. DK was a bit sad. We knew last night this wind storm was approaching so he prayed that Jesus would protect it. I feel He did protect it but not the way DK wanted it protected.

Anyway, after a long 5 days we had our beautiful let down as we inspected the ruins. I was so blessed to participate in this this year but sad it has come to such an abrupt end. It's OK though. We learned much through this amazing experience.

I'm sorry to hear about your Sukkah. I just figured out last night that the Feast of Tabernacles ends this Friday, not Saturday, so technically we would have been outside your invitation anyway. :(

Oh, I'm sorry your Beautiful Sukkah got blown down!! It was so cheery!!!

Ours was a pavilion in a park that we decorated and had an absolute blast just welcoming the presence of God.
