Biblical Feasts: Feast of the Trumpets Menu & Activities

Published on May 26, 2026May 23, 2026 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog1 Comment

If you’ve been around here for a bit, then you probably know that we have been on a journey to learn more about the Biblical Feasts. Well, the Feast of the Trumpets is almost upon us, and I decided that being prepared makes it more likely that I can follow through with the intentions of celebrating this year.

We plan to try to incorporate some traditional dishes, and we plan to eat by candlelight whenever possible. Please note that I am not an expert, and most of these ideas are just ideas that I have, and I can not say that they are traditional or ‘allowed’ for a traditional Jewish celebration.

Wine or Grape Juice is normally served with meals as well, although we will probably opt for sparkling juice, apple cider, or juice.

You can change whatever recipes you need to make this work for you… you can even buy premade foods and make this work. The idea is to celebrate your BLESSINGS and show THANKFULNESS to GOD.

I am hoping to make a new devotional for each month this year… that’s a big challenge, but it is something that has been on my heart. For JUNE, our monthly theme will be FAITHFULNESS. We will be trying to find ways to show a little more FAITHFULNESS through routines and habits.

Biblical Feasts: Day of Atonement Resources

Published on May 23, 2026May 21, 2026 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

Please note that I am NOT an expert on the BIBLE or on any of the BIBLICAL FEASTS, but I know others are feeling led to celebrate the FEASTS as we are, so I am just sharing what we have been learning. This post, like many of my posts, is a helpful reminder for myself and a place to put links that I might otherwise forget about.

Who should celebrate the Seven Biblical Feasts?

Well, that is a debate among many, and I have been doing TONS of research. During that research, I read somewhere that we are not commanded to celebrate them, but we are invited to celebrate them as Jesus did. How would you feel if you had invited someone to celebrate with you and they didn’t show up?

First and foremost, I would say that you need to pray and see if GOD is leading you to celebrate… you should pray about any big changes in direction before heading down a path that life may be leading you down.

Holy Days vs. Holidays

Why celebrate the Day of Atonement?

Secondly, you should do your own research about Sukkot. Find out the who, the what, the when, the where. the why, and the how… all of it! Then you can decide if and how you want to celebrate it. You can start by reading through Leviticus 23.

As I mentioned before, we have already been invited, so I definitely want to celebrate… it would be rude to keep ignoring the invite, and if we don’t go, then HE might invite someone else in our place! This is an exciting time, and I want to show GOD how thankful we are for ALL that HE has blessed us with.

This is also known as Yom Kippur of the Day of Cleansing, we all need to stand before God and confess our sins… we need to remember that no one can be perfect and we all make mistakes. Christ died for us so that our sins would be forgiven… HE was the perfect SACRIFICE.

WHY NOT CELEBRATE?

I can’t think of any reason not to celebrate.

Sowing Seeds of FAITH: A lesson in PATIENCE

Published on May 11, 2026May 11, 2026 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

Today during my Bible Study I read Philippians 1:6

‘Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.’

We must always remember that the ONE who started HIS work in us is committed to finishing it!

No matter what path we are on, it is a path that has been created by our FAITH and our choices. Sometimes we might feel stuck, or feel like things are not progressing fast enough. We have to remember to have PATIENCE because there are unseen forces at work… just like a newly planted seed doesn’t show growth right away. The roots usually start developing below the surface as they are needed to support and sustain the plant as it grows.

The same is happening in your life. Your support system is being created to help you reach your maximum potential. Remember that you have not been abandoned or forgotten… be comforted in knowing that GOD has a plan for you and HE has promised to see it through!

If you are feeling a little impatient, take a moment to look back on how far you have come. Remember that your journey is unique and important. Keep trusting in GOD’s plan and HIS timing!

I pray that this has blessed someone like it blessed me.

May GOD Bless You!
