This is a dramatization
of what I believe happened on this HOLY DAY of OFFERING.
LOVE, RICOEL
____________
The HOLY DAY of the OFFERING was coming
and ABEL and Cain were debating in their usual competitive way.
"What are you OFFERING to YH'SHWH?" Cain asked.
"I'm not going to tell you!" responded ABEL.
"Why not?" questioned Cain.
"Then, you'll try to get a better or bigger OFFERING.
I'm just not going to tell you, so don't keep asking!" replied ABEL as he stomped away.
Cain took off to his fields and was admiring how large his crop had been this year.
He knew that he would have a better OFFERING than ABEL
Because of the abundance of his crop.
He would gather from all his crops and accumulate a large OFFERING.
He knew that he had a lot to give as an OFFERING.
He had worked hard to have a large OFFERING.
YH'SHWH would be impressed.
YH'SHWH would accept his OFFERING over ABEL'S.
ABEL had gone to his herds of sheep.
He had no idea what he was going to give as an OFFERING to YH'SHWH.
All he had were his sheep.
He looked to the sky and PRAYED,
"Dear GOD YH'SHWH,
I don't have a thing to give as an OFFERING to YOU.
YOU are a GREAT and GIVING GOD.
I PRAY that I may find a GREAT OFFERING for YOU."
"We celebrate this HOLY DAY of LIFE that YOU GAVE us.
Remembering the day
YOU could have killed Dad and Mom when they moved against YOU,
but YOU, in YOUR LOVING KINDNESS,
SACRIFICED an INNOCENT LAMB, instead.
YOU took the LAMB'S skin and covered my parent's nakedness - their sin."
"My GOD YH'SHWH,
All I can have to give to YOU is a lamb.
Please accept this OFFERING as a SYMBOL of what YOU did for us.
I do this in WORSHIP, in ADORATION,
And in SUBMISSION to what
YOU did for us.
Because of what YOU did - we live."
"I have no idea what YOU meant,
when YOU said that YOU would pay
for the death of the INNOCENT LAMB,
but I will TRUST in YOUR LOVE for us.
YOU will keep us SAFE."

ABEL'S OFFERING was accepted by YH'SHWH.
