Feels more like Christmas now. Just a little decoration makes a big difference. The tree is real. We were supervised to find this small one in a pot at the local grocery store. The crèche figures are
original to our family, made at a family style Christmas event at our church years ago.
Christmas came into our hearts yesterday with the morning church service. A sermon about the dark side of Christmas with the killing of the babes in Bethlehem. A reminder that there is suffering in our world. Suffering that The Christ will eventually wipe away from our experience. Only possible because of his advent. The children's choir sang as well. Somehow the songs of Christmas are sweeter when sung from small ones.
Lastly, a special service of lessons and carols arranged and performed by Dan and his best friend, Joel Patterson, with other friends filling out the worship team. Lots of dramatic reading of the
Christmas scripture. Glorious!
