The first week of Advent has been busy. Sunday we hung our outdoor Christmas lights. Monday night I went to the Bethany Christmas Tea, it was a lot of fun. Women from the many area churches performed Christmas music and sing carols. It was so fun to have a church full of singers singing Christmas carols!Then last night we got our tree out and decorated it. Hard to believe this is our 3rd Christmas together!
We have also been lighting our Advent wreath- my Dad help me make it last year by cutting the wood base for me. I always have enjoyed lighting the Advent candles as we did with my family growing up. So now Dean and I can carry on the tradition.
Prayer for lighting the Advent candles everyday:
O God,
as light comes from this candle,
may the blessing of Jesus Christ come to us,
warming our hearts and
brightening our way.
May Christ our Savior bring life
into the darkness of this world,
and to us, as we wait for his coming.
