Celebrating With Friends

Kezzie playing her guitar, Hope and Priscilla singing .... Cherub 2 "holding the light" and singing along with Cherub 3 and a few others not pictured here.

Another picture of the "joyful noise" ... this one with MOST everyone singing ...

Last Wednesday, the (biblical) Feast of Tabernacles began. It will officially end Thursday with the "Last Great Day".

We were invited to visit with dear friends during this special time - and so we spent a few evenings at the home of Shadybrook Acres. We sat around a warm bonfire, high up on top of a hill which overlooks a beautiful valley ... S'mores, roasted hotdogs, and the BEST popcorn in the world (Thanks MamaLion !) ... children running 'round and playing, soaking in the beauty of all that God has created ... enjoying one another's company ... listening to the 4 older Ector girls make beautiful music together (singing) .... IT WAS WONDERFUL !!

Last night Kezzie brought our her guitar (she is making great progress for having JUST started lessons !) and we all sang song after song together, praising and worshiping our Father. There were 4 adults and 6 Beck children and 6 Ector children - and we convinced almost everyone to sing. "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands." We tried our best !

The moon at the beginning of the week was GORGEOUS !! The skies were clear and the stars shone their brightest ! And last night we were able to "see" the Milky Way, according to Mr. Potts.

Thank you Shadybrook Acres for a wonderful evening ... or three.
