Our Family Celebrates the Feast of Sukkot
Every year on the 15th day of the 7th month (on the biblical calendar) we camp outdoors in temporary dwelling places for one week. Sometimes we do this in our backyard and meet with locals, but some years we travel to be with other believers for this time.
This year, we traveled to Arkansas to spend the week on the homestead and experience life off-grid for a week.
The Journey South-West
September 19th - 20th Thursday and Friday
We left early in the morning on Thursday for our 900 mile journey over two days. We drove all day through Saint Louis and stayed at a hotel in Missouri.
Crossing the mighty Mississippi!
We had special wristbands for the children to help with car sickness.
Stopped several times to let the children run around.
Daniel got to sit in the grass outside for a little rest.
Arriving on the Homestead.
It was just raining off and on when we arrived.
Our platform trailer couldn't go up the steep mountain without scrapping the ground - we had to make two trips.
We brought six totes of supplies in our trailer.
On the top of the mountain, setting up camp. We left the totes at the bottom of the mountain.
We set up camp in the rain. Thankfully, we had some help from our neighbors!
Celebrating Shabbat on the Homestead
It was rainy and dark, but we still pulled ourselves together to honor God's Holy day with bread and wine. We sang songs around our little table and enjoyed some excellent food.
"Say Happy Camping! Say Shabbat Shalom!"
We had made the 900 mile journey and were ready to celebrate Sukkot on the Homestead!
