Happy third week of Advent! Our three tall tapers on our table are burning brightly, and only one remains to be lit!
Joy is abundant and over-flowing. My housemates and I celebrated our gift exchange on Sunday night, complete with a poem written for each person. I'll include mine later; right now it's at home on my wall. We also filled the house with sweet smells of fresh baked cookies: white chocolate cranberry cookies by Erin, powder puffs by Betsy, and peanut butter cookies by yours truly.
Last night I attended Annunciation grade school's Christmas play, "Christmas in Lone Star Gulch." Endearing, especially the handbell choir and one kindergarten whose voice carried over everyone else's, defiantly singing one, long, note.
And today I saw the Christmas play at the school I've been working at, Swansea elementary. It was wonderful!! "We need a little Christmas (vacation)" was the title, and the kids were splendid.
Tomorrow my housemates and I are going ice skating outdoors, and then having dinner at our directors' place, and Thursday is the Christmas party at work, complete with little kids dressed like elves singing songs!
O come, O come, Emmanuel! May you find us watching in prayer, our hearts filled with joy and wonder.
