My mother recently gave me a copy of this book which contains prayers and scripture to supplement morning and evening prayer for each day of Advent. It’s so far a good little book with sweet illustrations done by the author Sarah Hornsby who, come to find out, has written a number of books of which I would be interested in reading. One good thing about not having a lot of money is it keeps you from getting caught up in the commercialism of Christmas that we face in this nation. I feel blessed to spend this Advent close with the Lord in prayer and meditation which will really allow my heart to “prepare Him room”.
So, how about that weather? I’ve truly enjoyed the recent cold evenings which have made little Charlotte sleep extra close to me to keep warm. I really cherish these days and know that there will come a time when she sleeps away from me but until then I’ll hold her close. Charlotte will be spending a few hours with Grandma this next we as Justin and I attend his work’s Christmas party. I don’t know how she’ll do but I guess there’s only one way to find out. Thankfully we won’t be too far away and I can jet home if need be. Not much else going on around here other than Charlotte now gives her teddy bear kisses and our search begins for our next place to live. Our current lease is almost up so we find ourselves once again searching craigslist and the like for a decently priced abode. That’s it for now so till next time…
