Enlarging the Tents

Nahariya is growing. The buildings are reaching higher into the blue. Suddenly, I realised that an ancient prayer was being answered.

Isaiah 54:2 "Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes".

Cactus Garden
God stretched the Land for His people. More people will be coming. In Ukraine there are 200,000 Jews that might need protection from anti-Semitism that is rising after the recent revolt. The Israeli government just offered help to them. Some will choose to arrive in Israel and more housing will be built.

But, something had to give. Close to a store we frequent was a cactus garden.  As old buildings were remodeled and enlarged to include more families, the garden was abundant and its beauty destroyed. I am glad that we took a picture of that garden when it was at its best bloom.

Our tents are being stretched to include all the Olim (new immigrants).

58th Day of Praise
God, thank you for answering prayers and enlarging the Land to include all those who come home; thank you God for the memories that are kept in our photos

Smiling at the changes
