335/365

It's the first day of December. The school is getting decked out for the holidays and the kids are very excited. Even the weather is cooperating and it's nice and cool.

The library has lots of winter books up - I was tickled by the look on this kids face. I'm not sure we should trust him with fire!

The moon was quiet dramatic on the way home from work.

Last year I bought a pack of advent tealights. 25 lights with a number on each one. All for a quarter on the after Christmas clearance! At least it will give me an easy shot each day.

333/365 First night of Advent

Tonight we celebrated the first Sunday of Advent. I like this definition of Advent - The arrival, coming, or discovery of something, especially something extremely important.

I read this scriptures to accompany the lighting of the candle.

Isaiah 60:1-3

"Arise, shine, for your light has come,

and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.

See, darkness covers the earth

and thick darkness is over the peoples,

but the LORD rises upon you

and his glory appears over you.

Nations will come to your light,

and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

Matthew 24:44

So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

First a little dinner

It's a cold night here, so we've got the fires going.
