Happy Hanukkah!

 

 Greetings Gail-Friends!  I am alive!!  And praising God for that.  We had a bout with the China virus - and are alive to tell about it.  Rabbi Jem is much, much better, but I'm still recovering.  This is my fourth week of being "sick".  It started on 11/8 with a horrible headache and got worse.  I had to visit the ER at one point.  Had an x-ray and am thankful I didn't have pneumonia.  I did have depleted levels in my blood work and had to go through several hours of IV therapy.  Then the following week, I came down with bronchitis.  Still healing from that. . .

I'm so thankful for the love and tender care of my dear husband.  Even though he was sick, too, he was my nurse through it all.  The worst was getting me to the ER in the pouring-down-rain.  I was put in isolation, and he couldn't stay with me for my twelve-hour confinement.  

I'm also thankful for the love, prayers and ministry of our congregation.  They fed us like kings, plus provided healthy remedies for our malady.  We were abundantly blessed.

So, I'm still weak - and won't be posting new posts about Hanukkah.  I'll share links to some past posts for you.  I hope you have a wonderful Hanukkah.   

Here's some Hanukkah music for your enjoyment

This is Day 1 of an eight-day series - I hope you enjoy it.

  8 Days of Hanukkah - Day 1

And here's the link to my book Eight Days of Hanukkah - and Christmas, too. Available on Amazon

This book details how we, as Messianic Jewish believers, celebrate Jesus as the Light of the World by combining Hanukkah and Christmas.  It includes daily Bible readings, prayers, and reflections for the eight days of Hanukkah along with songs, instructions for playing dreidel, lots of full-color photos, and some yummy and easy recipes.
