Simple Ways to Make the Biblical Feasts Feel Special on a Budget

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog3 Comments

There is something lovely about gathering around a table that looks a little different from an ordinary Tuesday. A pretty tablecloth, the soft glow of candles, and a few thoughtful touches can help us slow down and remember why we are gathering.

As Christians celebrating the biblical feasts, we are still learning. All we are trying to do is remember our FATHER, HIS WORD, and HIS PROMISES.

The decorations and household products shared here are optional. We do not present them as requirements from God or suggest that buying them makes a celebration more faithful. Some customs associated with the feasts developed later as traditions, and we want to be thoughtful about distinguishing those traditions from what Scripture actually says.

These are simply ways to make our gatherings feel a little more special while keeping our budget in mind.

A Prayer for Deliverance, Softened Hearts, and Restoration

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

Join us tomorrow for Day 1 of our Devotional for Estranged Family & Friends.

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, knowing that You are merciful, powerful, and able to restore what seems completely broken.

Lord, I lift up my family, my friends, and every relationship that has been damaged by hurt, misunderstanding, anger, pride, bitterness, distance, or unforgiveness. You know every heart involved. You know the words that were spoken, the things left unsaid, the wounds no one else can see, and the circumstances that brought us to this place.

Father, wherever there is spiritual darkness, oppression, deception, temptation, or anything drawing us away from You and from what is good, I ask You to break its influence. Let the light of Christ expose every lie and replace it with Your truth.

Your Word says:

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world.” — Ephesians 6:12

Help me remember that people are not my enemy.
