ADVENT
Come, let us walk in the light of the Lord
Isaiah 2:5
ALL HUMANITY was created with a longing to be connected to God, to be children of the light. I want to walk as a child of the light, to drink deeply from God's living water, to allow God's light to illuminate all the shadows inside me.
Beth A. Richardson

Pray for the people who send you Christmas Cards as part of your family devotions. After the usual grace before dinner during December, open up any Christmas cards you received that day and offer a prayer for the person or family that sent it. If you kids aren't familiar with who sent the card, it's a perfect opportunity to tell a story about the person and how they fit into your life. This practice can help your children appreciate the larger family they belong to, give you more opportunities to share your own life with your children, and nurture relationships that can mean a lot to your children in future years. Besides, it's a chance to really look at those cards that people sent, to appreciate their beauty and the messages they extend. If you're lucky, you'll also receive at least a couple of Christmas Letters that everyone groans about, but I enjoy.
This is a good time to start a family prayer journal. Remember to put the date, request, and a column for the answer to prayer. Pray expectantly
HAPPY TUESDAY!!
After a windy and warm Monday, the cold is supposed to return today and we'll be back in the 30's. All this weather change is very hard to take.
I had a very quiet day at work yesterday and today looks like one too ! Things will begin to slow down for us as the bad weather inhibits a lot of the work we do.
The work here at home is coming along. My crafting is now more than halfway done! By next weekend it should be complete then I can wrap the presents! I'm decorating little by little and things are beginning to look like Christmas around here. I also have started my cards, so that too will hopefully be done next weekend.
Tomorrow night is my prayer group meeting and other than that I won't have to go out any evenings this week.
That is a good thing.
Have a great day ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

Never pride yourself on knowledge.

Is This The FBI
Hello, is this the FBI?
Yes. What do you want?
I'm calling to report about my neighbor Billy Bob Smith! He is hiding marijuana inside his firewood.
Thank you very much for the call, sir.
The next day, the FBI agents descend on Billy Bob's house. They search the shed where the firewood is kept. Using axes, they bust open every piece of wood, but find no marijuana. They swore at Billy Bob and left.
The phone rings at Billy Bob's house.
Hey, Billy Bob! Did the FBI come?
Yeah!
Did they chop your firewood?
Yep
Merry Christmas Buddy
