Purim




Today we celebrated Purim, for Christian friends this is celebrating the time that God saved the Israelites through Esther. Most of you know her story. If not, read it! It's a great time...and also lends itself well to my word for the year- contentment. One of the most famous quotes is said by Mordecai who tells Esther (and I may slightly misquote) "Maybe, you were called to this position for such a time as this". I'll talk more about this in the next post, but for now here are a couple of shots from todays celebration at Vivi's school. They have a big festival and all the kids dress up. Vivi had fun but Isaac is cutting teeth so he was a little clingy to mom. Still, I'm very glad we got to take part in it today.
