Pesach Night

Pesach

Name tag- A feeling that you're wanted and needed.
Flowers lovingly cut and arranged by loving hands
The Haggadah-order of service for Pesach



Appetizers ( called Appys) -munchies to enjoy while going through the Haggadah


Matzah- The bread of affliction, unleavened because our people left Egypt quickly
The Elements- Lamb shank bone , represents the spotless Lamb sacrificed for us.
Bitter herbs and salt water, represents our tears and bitter toil while in captivity to the Egyptians.
Charoset, resembles the color of the clay we made to form bricks while laboring for the Egyptians.
The egg, to remind us of the destruction of the Temple

Hearts Of Friends



Hearts of friends, tightly woven together by time, tears and shared memories. I hold them in my hand lovingly, carefully. My hand is open not wanting to smother or hold too tightly, for they each need room to move, to grow, to be themselves. I guard and treasure each one individually. Though they may be separated my miles, our hearts are inseparable.

Winter Tree



Winter tree, barren and cold, with no sign of life but for the occasional bird needing a place to rest.  Do not despair. Winter is not so terribly long, but is a brief season in time. Shortly, the spring will come, and your leaves will again grow anew and your branches will stretch to meet the rising of the sun.

The Bridge To Your Destiny



As we come upon each of life's bridges let us deeply consider the  path.  Don't look down , or fear may grip you as you stand paralyzed, afraid to move forward. Don't look back at what may have been, it's already passed. Keep your eyes fixed forward . Set your gaze on the horizon, but not too far forward, or it may overwhelm you. Go on, on step at a time.
