.Love.
We’re so close! But it still feels like there’s so much more to do. We’re preparing our homes for Christmas parties, gift exchanges, and all sorts of exciting plans. Please don’t forget to also get ready for a very important birthday! It’s hard to keep that in mind when you’re not actually about to have a baby (I’ve been there…it’s hard to forget that last week!) As you go through the busyness of this last week of Advent, just be sure you’re doing all of those things with Love. That’s a great way to prepare yourselves for His birthday. He is Love brought into the world, so we should do the same. This is a great time of year to be charitable, so spread some love wherever you go.
“Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah,
where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.”” Luke 1:39-45
Light up those candles! My first candle is about down to nothing and the greenery has browned, but we’ll make it work! I’m off to bake…for my own family!…and maybe some friends. 😉 Spread some Christmas cheer to someone you think might need a little love
