Welcome to the Covenant People of God Edmund! May you walk in the faith of your fathers all the days of your life. May the fear of the Lord reside in you, making you fearless among men. As your name, Edmund, signifies, may you be a Prosperous Protector, blessing and protecting others with the blessings and strength bestowed upon you by God. And as your middle name, Lucien, signifies, may you be a light among men. May you carry on the faith of your great-grandfather, Lucien Foucachon, to a thousand generations.
Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows; for so He gives His beloved sleep.
Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth.
Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; they shall not be ashamed, but shall speak with their enemies in the gate. ~Psalm 127
Blessed is every one who fears the LORD, who walks in His ways.
When you eat the labor of your hands, you shall be happy, and it shall be well with you. Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the very heart of your house, your children like olive plants All around your table.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the LORD.
The LORD bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
Yes, may you see your children’s children.
Peace be upon Israel!
~Psalm 128

A Huguenot Tradition - Advent Breakfast
The French are not big on breakfast. Often very light like a Croissant with coffee. However there are four breakfasts in the year which are exceptionally special. There is a Huguenot tradition in France of having a special advent breakfast that my father grew up with and then did with us, and that I am now continuing. It is often not a huge breakfast, mostly because we would otherwise be late for church, but it is always very special and unique. There are a few things that always accompany it, such as a tangerine with a candle stuck in it, as well as Papilottes (which we didn't have this time since you can't get them in the states. Papilottes are a Christmas-only chocolate that is wrapped in a foil with a joke inside and sometimes a little firecracker.)
Other than those, it varies from time to time. This morning we had eggs, toast, and breakfast sausage; a donut (with coconut on top), fruit cake, a slice of pound cake, a chocolate cigar, peanut butter cups, and hot cider (and of course the orange). And yes, that's a lot of sugar, but we really don't eat it all at once - most of it is left for later, and the eggs and sausage used for sustenance.
Here are a couple photos of our first advent breakfast:

30th Anniversary!
My parents celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary this month! And not just thirty years, but thirty years of loving each other, sacrificing for each other, being an example to us kids, and teaching us through their lives and their instruction how to fear and love God. I am especially thankful for my parents this Thanksgiving!
Still as much in love as ever, and I hear even more so!
The photo is a bit blurry, but that is a Chateauneuf-du-Pape from 1989! I hear it was exquisite.
