ADVENT
Each morning this week, if even for that brief moment at the side of our beds, we want to light a second inner candle. We want to let it represent "a bit more hope." Perhaps we can pause, breathe deeply and say, Lord, I place my trust in you.
Make a list of what you would do if time and money were no object. I think your answers will probably surprise you. This is more difficult than it appears. We tend to want to bless others and totally forget what makes us happy or what we like.
Start looking for individual favors for the Christmas dinner table. Whether your dinner will be for just family or company, it still adds a lovely touch. Everyone will have a momento of Christmas this year. You might consider adding a loop and putting the year on them and that way they can be ornaments on the tree for next year. Make this a new holiday tradition
HAPPY MONDAY!!
What a fast weekend ! Back to work today and it’ll will be a busy day as I left a pile on my desk Friday. I hardly ever get behind, but today I’ll play catch up!
My house is halfway ready???maybe only a third , my cards are addressed, but still need stamps and the tree is in the corner, partially decorated. No presents are wrapped, and I have this week and next weekend to finish!
Will I get done??? We’ll see…
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way

TODAY'S SMILE
Female Reindeer!
According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid December. Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring. Therefore, according to every historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, every single one of them, from Rudolf to Blitzen........had to be girls.
We should've known. Only women would be able to drag a fat man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night, and not get lost

TODAY'S REFLECTION
So if you are about to place your gift on the altar and remember that someone is angry with you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. Make peace with that person, then come back and offer your gift to God
Matthew 5:23-24
With the activities of the Christmas season, we find that shopping is difficult, especially when some gifts are for relatives with whom we have had problems. Christmas is about the perfect gift of love that God gave us in Jesus Christ. Our scripture reminds us of how important harmonious relationships are to God
TODAY'S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER'S ALMANAC
During cold and flu season, wipe the telephone mouthpiece with a cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol
16 DAYS UNTIL WINTER
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your Heart
Psalm 37:4
I Love You All !!!
Be Blessed !!!
