Today we were awakened by the sound of the prophets…Make way for the Lord! We also enjoyed the special breakfast that St. Lucy brought to us this morning. Our Advent Angel reminded us to not forget to heed her words…Make way for the Lord!
We were to take some time today to think about what you were told by St. Nicholas earlier this month and try to think about how we will be a better person for the new year…Make way for the Lord! However, Michael spent most of the morning completing a bathroom remodel...yes we did this in the middle of all this rush of preparation! Then he was off to work. SO...we decided we would work on this tomorrow when we had more time to focus on our resolutions.
After our morning visitor who brought us breakfast we set in to cleaning house. We were surprised to hear a loud sirens coming into our neighborhood. We all rushed out the door to see what was happening. It was our local fire department making their rounds to tell us Merry Christmas! They did a good job of surprising us, and we will not forget them on Christmas Eve when we make our annual trip to see them with a special surprise from our family.
We added a supply of food to the nativity scene to remind us that we should nourish our souls with God's Word. We also added a tent ornament to our Jesse tree to remind us of King Hezekiah who trusted God to find his enemy vanquished leaving only their empty tents behind (2 Kings 19).
