This is indeed the season of Thanksgiving! Peg and I are grateful that Julie, Shiloh, Caroline, and Korban could be home for a couple weeks (Shiloh came later) and sadly, they need to return to Texas tomorrow (Friday). But it was a fun time with them, especially last week when Julie joined the rest of the Bells in the “Bell Choir.” I think that choir put a smile on everyone’s face. It was more comical than skillful. Thank you, Margie, for coordinating the Bell Choir. (:
We also are giving thanks because some of the early appointments by president elect Trump have been very supportive of Israel. Secretary of State – Marco Rubio; Secretary of Defense – Pete Hegseth; Ambassador to Israel – Mike Huckabee; UN Ambassador – Elise Stefanik; not to mention Donald Trump himself is very pro-Israel. I’m claiming those blessings for America that come with blessing Israel (Genesis 12:3)
Prophetic Watch!
In 2018, Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s choice for Secretary of Defense, shared his thoughts on the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.

The next American Secretary of Defense, Fox News journalist and army veteran Pete Hegseth, has made comments in the past seemingly endorsing the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem, Arutz Sheva reported Thursday.
A long-time and vocal supporter of Israel, Hegseth also appeared in a pro-Israel conference six years ago to lend support to Jewish aspirations to rebuild the historic Temple on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount.
In 2018, Hegseth addressed the annual Arutz Sheva – Israel National News conference, during which he lauded then-President Trump for recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital city and relocating the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
“When you stand there, you cannot help but behold the miracle before you,” Hegseth said. “It got me thinking about another miracle I hope all of you don’t see as too far away,” Hegseth continued, suggesting that like the Balfour Declaration, the establishment of the State of Israel, and the liberation of the Old City of Jerusalem, the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem is attainable.
“1917 was a miracle, 1948 was a miracle, 1967 was a miracle, 2017, the declaration of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was a miracle, and there’s no reason why the miracle of the reestablishment of the Temple on the Temple Mount is not possible.” I don’t know how it would happen, you don’t know how it would happen, but I know that it could happen, that’s all I know.”
Hegseth went on to back the extension of Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, calling it the “critical next step” for Israel.
