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 is an exciting time, and I want to show GOD how thankful we are for ALL that HE has blessed us with.
