Pentecost 2013 at fell on May 19 on the Roman calendar. We had a great day full of valuable family time, feasting, and spiritual growth. We listened to a sermon and read scriptures and some other stuff on Pentecost. I also used the event of the newly-hatched chick to teach about the meaning of Pentecost and how the Spirit of God brings new spiritual life to a person, as I discussed also on my Growing in Grace and Knowledge blog.

We enjoyed the punch that I always make on Pentecost, which I like to be a symbolic reminder of how the Spirit is "poured" out upon believers.

As I traditionally do on Pentecost, I gave the kids spiritually/biblically themed gifts. The oldest three each got a bag with their favorite color and scripture on them (for example, Trusten's is royal blue with a white crown on it and a verse about God's Kingdom), as well as new bible bookmarks. Jaden William also got a new small metal flashlight with a scripture verse on it.

Until next time...
