You may or may not know that this past week was the Jewish celebration of Rosh Hashanah. During this holiday, the birthday of the world is celebrated and the birthday of a new year is established. Apples are served as above with honey to represent the wishes for a sweet year.
Traditionally, the Jews believe that they must prepare to make sure their name is in the Book of Life for the new year. They send cards with the greeting: "May you be inscribed in the Book of Life for a good year."
This is my prayer for each of you that you would be blessed with a good year. That you would taste and see the sweetness of life, especially as you trust in God.
Surprise your children this morning by yelling "Happy New Year!"
