The Light of the Pomegranate, Listen!

Out of them will come thanksgiving

and the sound of celebration.

I will multiply them, so they will not decrease.

I will also honor them,

so they will not be insignificant.      ---Jeremiah 30:19

After the last day of Hannukah, well a bout two days later, I came home to my apartment and on the door there was a bag, someone had left something for me.

I knew what it was as I could see the red fruit through the vinyl bag.

But it wasn't just one fruit, it was three.
Three pomegranates!!

It was a surprise.  No one has ever given me a gift of pomegranates before! Well, I shouldn't say that as every pomegranate is a gift from God.
No person had ever given me one.  So seeing three really made me so full of joy.

I knew what I had to do.

Make Pomegranate Challah!

Or rather Challot!!

One for my neighbor who gave me the pomegranate.
And it will also be my holiday "gift" to others in my family and in my life.

Time to get to work!!

This was a gift from God for sure, like the ear dream in an earlier post where He wanted me to see inside the ear, this time He wanted me to see the inside of His precious Messianic fruit!!

He wanted me to cut it from the top, and split open the sides, to see the abundant juicy red seeds filling its white cavities!!

I wasn't afraid as there were more if I did it "wrong"!  Up to now I did a very labor intensive way of taking out the seeds, but now I was seeing how to do it in a simpler way that just pops out the seeds almost at once.!!

I must say I hugged the bowl and looked into the multitude of God's goodness!!

But for now I have to go and deliver one challah to my neighbor, and prepare for Shabbat!!
Shabbat Shalom !!  This post be continued!!

Love,
Shayndel

12 seeds on top of each , and both filled with pomegranate
"jam" in the middle.  A Messianic Challah? A Covenant Challah!?  A Challah for Channukah!  A Challah for Joseph!  A love thy Neighbor Challah.  ALL for Yeshua♡

  ?  All of the above!!!

Let us go early to the vineyards;

Let us see if the vine has flowered,

If its blossoms have opened,

If the pomegranates are in bloom.

There I will give my love to you.

The mandrakes yield their fragrance,

At our doors are all choice fruits; 

Both freshly picked and long-stored

Have I kept, my beloved, for you.

Song of Songs 7:13~14
