Advent.

The start of Advent has seen a shift in gears from November, when we prayed for our dearly departed family members, to a time of preparation for Christmas. Our prayer space reflects that change. 



Our Jesse Tree/Christmas tree wasn't very happy last year when we kept it inside for more than a month. That much is evident in the increased bare branches this year. We've learned our lesson and will keep it outside for longer.

Our thoughtful big girl arranged the Jesse Tree ornaments to take a picture so I know which order to use them in. 

Each ornament represents a snippet of salvation history from the creation story to the Jesus' birth at Christmas. They are extra special because we made these together last year.

In little ways, our home is looking and feeling a little more like Christmas is coming:

Our new Christmas wreath is the fruit of our hands:


Our Star Wars Lego Advent calendar is also proving to be quite enjoyable for the children.



"The voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the wilderness the paths of our God." - Isaiah 40:3

Come, Lord Jesus!
