Hanukkah

I just came from a bit of a Hanukkah ceremony. It was not at a jewish home and we did our jelly doughnuts were not fried- but we did tell the story, light the first candle and answer the children's questions. I love ceremonies that teach you things about God and give children another time to ask questions which gives adults time to pass on what was passed on to them. It really can be quite beautiful. In fact, rather than having an aversion to religious tradition... I actually have a deep love for it. I practice the faith that was handed down to me by faithful men. They received it from faithful men. And this gives us all a connection to our past. This connection leads us all the way back to Jesus' incarnation. Christians did not come from nowhere and they are not going nowhere. We pass on what was passed on to us. So I have to say that I really appreciate Hanukkah. God has provided for His people in the past and He will provide for me today. To Him alone be the glory.
