We're doing a special thing this week during our nightly family worship. Every night of the week we are reading from the gospels what was happening to our Lord on that day, or when it is unclear specifically, we are reading His parables and learning about His teaching during this period. Each night we light our candles, each one represents a day of the week beginning with Palm Sunday (all 5 candles lit). Each day we extinguish one candle as we read our first bit of scripture, all candles going dark on Friday as we read the crucifixion. When my children wake Sunday on resurrection day, all the candles will be lit ("He is risen!!!"), and I will add one more to it to represent the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (of course, that was later a bit, but for our purposes the symbols are great teaching tools).

It occurred to me tonight to snap a picture of our little candles on our "family table". Thought you all might enjly...

What a time of learning for each of you.  I do believe each of you will take something different from the week's texts.

Well done!
