Day 1of Advent




Our church service this morning was fabulous - I am not just saying that since my little angel sang in the choir this morning (though for those of you who missed it - she was darling!)

Our service this morning consisted of a mixture of song and scripture, of readings and rejoicing as we celebrated the beginning of the advent season.

It was a joy to see the church decorated during the service, the hanging of the wreaths, the presenting of the banners, the placing of the poinsettias, the decorating of the tree - the hanging of the greens.

As I type my children are placing Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus in our front yard, our crock pot has our first Sunday advent family dinner slow cooking upstairs, and our wreath is awaiting our lighting of the candle at dinner tonight.

So much to be thankful for.....
