Shabbat Blessings!

The Shabbat candle has been lit -

time once again to celebrate the first of G-d' s feasts 

and to rest in Him after a busy week!

May His Light fill your heart and home tonight!

Shabbat Shalom!

Shabbat Shalom! Happy 6th Night of Hanukkah!

Tonight is VERY special - 

not only is it Shabbat

(the first feast day that Adonai gave us)

but it is also the 6th Night of Hanukkah!

It has been a joyful celebration 

of God's blessings and light all week

here at Little Prairie Home!

And tonight is even more special because

it is two holidays in one!

Lots of good food

(gotta love latkes with sour cream & applesauce! Mmmm!)

Great music, and friends!

So, from my little patch of prairie

to your sweet home -

Happy Hanukkah!

Shabbat Shalom!

Happy Hanukkah!

It's time to light the candles,

and celebrate our Messiah Yeshua, the Light of the World! 

This is the first night of Hanukkah,

also known as the Festival of Lights, or the Feast of Dedication!

Here is my simple menorah,

from last year.

"Light is shed on the righteous,

and joy on the upright in heart."

(Ps. 97:11)

Chag Hannukkah Sameach!

(Happy Hanukkah!)

It's Time To Celebrate Yeshua!

For my friends in other countries,
here in America, we have just
finished a wonderful holiday called Thanksgiving.
But as believers in Yeshua,
we have an even greater day to celebrate Him . . . the Sabbath!
So please relax, light the candles, enjoy studying Torah,
and enjoy this lovely video that reminds us of the AWESOME G-d we serve!
Shabbat Shalom, Chevarim!

Come Ye Thankful People, Come!

Happy Thanksgiving!
This is my favorite Thanksgiving hymn -
sung every year in the Presbyterian church
I grew up in.
Just wouldn't be Thanksgiving without it!


Come Ye Thankful People, Come


Come, ye thankful people, come, raise the song of harvest home;
All is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin.
God our Maker doth provide for our wants to be supplied;
Come to God’s own temple, come, raise the song of harvest home.

All the world is God’s own field, fruit unto His praise to yield;
Wheat and tares together sown unto joy or sorrow grown.
First the blade and then the ear, then the full corn shall appear;
Lord of harvest, grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be.

For the Lord our God shall come, and shall take His harvest home;
From His field shall in that day all offenses purge away,
Giving angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast;
But the fruitful ears to store in His garner evermore.

Even so, Lord, quickly come, bring Thy final harvest home;
Gather Thou Thy people in, free from sorrow, free from sin,
There, forever purified, in Thy garner to abide;
Come, with all Thine angels come, raise the glorious harvest home.

We Plow The Fields And Scatter ~

This wheat field is precious to me.
For it once belonged to my grandfather, and later, my uncle.
I often saw my uncle riding out on his tractor
to work it - would have loved to come along!


We Plow The Fields And Scatter


We plow the fields, and scatter the good seed on the land,

But it is fed and watered by God’s almighty hand;

He sends the snow in winter, the warmth to swell the grain,

The breezes and the sunshine, and soft refreshing rain.

He only is the Maker of all things near and far;

He paints the wayside flower, He lights the evening star;

The winds and waves obey Him, by Him the birds are fed;

Much more to us, His children, He gives our daily bread.

We thank Thee, then, O Father, for all things bright and good,

The seed time and the harvest, our life, our health, and food;

No gifts have we to offer, for all Thy love imparts,

But that which Thou desirest, our humble, thankful hearts.

All good gifts around us are sent from heaven above,

Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord for all His love.

(Matthias Claudius)

Sabbath Rest ~

Shabbat Shalom!
