From Oregon, Alabama, and Thailand, Christine, Heather and I are doing our advent readings together.
from Day One:
"It wasn't just that God had promised to do it. It was that the reason He promised to do it was like an intimate promise between lovers. God's promised Messiah was a merciful gift of love to a people who needed both mercy and love. He would come to them in all their pain, brokenness, and struggle, and make everything new..."
And I'm enjoying the "a holy experience" December calendar:
Dec 1:
3 Gifts White...
*The paper ornaments on my tree, made by my sweet elementary school girls over for the afternoon on Saturday. Snowflakes cut from coffee filters.
*Flour + sugar in my bread machine. Herb bread ready as I study.
*The Tasha Tudor edition of The Night Before Christmas I found at the library. $2, absolutely gorgeous condition.
Dec 2:
3 Gifts Bright...
*Sound + energy of an unusually full service at church on the first Sunday of Advent.
*Christmas lights all over my house. My favorite, favorite, favorite.
*Candle flames.
