This year, as we prepare for the Festival of Lights, I am sharing two different devotionals that you and your family can use. In my local fellowship, two of us developed a devotional. One is themed around the Spirit – developing the fruit of the Spirit during the eight nights, and the other is themed around the history and prophecy or “truth” of Chanukah. You are welcome to save and/or print these for your personal use. They can be used together, or pick the one you believe the LORD would prefer you focus on this year and save the other one for next year. 😊 I have also linked to a past post on Chanukah that offers a more in-depth study for the eight nights.

The Seven Ushpizin of Sukkot

Posted on September 26, 2023 by K. Gallagher

Chag Sameach dear Readers! Last year, after the Feast of Tabernacles, I wrote about the passing of a dear friend and my experience in Israel. I promised an article on the seven ushpizin (figurative guests/visitors) of one’s sukkah because a large part of what was so awesome, was:

how the Father tied this traditional theme with my sister to bring me comfort in a time of grief. Because of its length, I have chosen to post it in PDF format. Though it is lengthy, it is not meant to be read all at once. Start with the intro and the first day and then go from there. This article is designed to help with introspection as we sit in our sukkah and commune with the Father. I did not have time to include photos or graphics, as I am now on way back up to Jerusalem for the Feast.

I dedicate this devotional to the memory of my beloved friend, Landra Kerekes, on her Yahrzeit (anniversary of death). I love and miss you, and I know you are rejoicing with our King in Jerusalem above!
