We should all be very enthusiastic about the coming Holy Days whether we have kept these days 50 times or just once. Are you preparing to gain the most from God’s fall Holy Days? Are you also preparing to give of yourself during these coming Holy Days? Don’t let the cares of this world keep you from preparing properly for the observance of these very important days which picture an integral and very important part of God’s plan of salvation for all mankind.
