Advent day #3

Advent in Instagram Series: Low light and fort dwelling does not a good picture make.


It's Year 3 of our family Advent Box tradition (click here for original post). The girls have been asking about the box pretty much since Halloween and when it showed up on Sunday, they freaked out. You know you have something good going on when your kids not only say that it is their favorite part of Christmas, but take it to school to "share" with their class.

In the spirit of Advent/Christmas, enjoy this video!

Advent



Advent, the beginning of the journey.
A chance to slow down and enter anew into the narrative of the God story.
We light a candle, a symbol of hope in the darkness.
Emmanuel, God with us.
