The Rejoicing Feast~Jedediah's Birth

Last month we had our Rejoicing Feast to celebrate Jedediah's birth.  Having my Mom here made the event extra special.

Psalm 78:4 was our selected verse.

We made up a lovely menu and whipped up a fancy feast and reflected on God's goodness to us throughout my pregnancy and during and after Jedediah's delivery.

Opening Prayer of Thanksgiving

"O Lord, you are our portion and our cup.  It is You who uphold our lot.  Indeed we have a goodly heritage.  We bless you Lord and have set you always before us.  Because you are at our right hand, we shall not fall.  Our hearts are glad and our spirits rejoice.  You show us the path of life, and in your Presence is a fullness of joy, and in your right hand are pleasures for evermore. "~based on Psalm 16
