...Now you are light in the Lord...

Live as children of light 

~ for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth ~

Ephesians 5:8-10

That is my prayer each and every day...

because it's just so easy sometimes "to make that comment"

or "think that thought" that lets the darkness creep in.

It's so good

to be reminded that we are light in the Lord.

 How is everyone doing?

I miss everyone!

Our Christmas decorations are going up slowly.

The tree in the sunroom was decorated last weekend.

My smaller tree that stands with the Christmas village had

its turn tonight.

It's

very

slowly

happening

here

Ever since "my little birdies" flew the nest, Advent seems

to rush by.  When they were small, wiggly children, Chris and I worked so hard 

before and after supper to create a special time for Advent prayer and candle lighting.

The forty days of Advent seemed so long :o)

~

Now, before we know it, these next couple of weeks will breeze by.

Faces of loved ones will be at our front doors and

gathered 'round our tables.

and

the winks and smiles

  the unstoppable laughter

the endless baking and cooking and

coffee and more tea

and another hug

please

is all we really truly wish for

♥

I wish you all happy and joyfilled moments

in the coming days ahead

and always,

Love to all!
