Fuel for us.
Fuel for the horses.
The girls convinced Nick to help them place Christmas lights on the barn. They've been wanting to do this for years. I'm happy for them and am excited to see it tonight.
The weather forecast is calling for another warming trend, so it looks like the snow will be gone by Friday night. This snow has helped to put everyone in the Christmas spirit. I've been thinking about gifts and cookies and wrapping and appetizers and decorations. Trying to keep my focus on Advent, though. I placed the Advent wreath on the dining table and we are lighting the HOPE candle at dinner each evening and praying:
O Lord, stir up our hearts
that we may prepare for
your only begotten Son,
that through His coming,
we may be made worthy to
serve you with pure souls.
Through the same Christ
our Lord.
Amen.
Happy Advent to you all.
