Advent Four

It's December 23

The Fourth Sunday in Advent

We've been gone to the city for the weekend

To meet Daughter Sarah and her Andy,

to do some last minute Christmas shopping

Lunch was a Costco hot dog

Dinner will be a deli sandwich eaten in front of the television

while we watch The Bishop's Wife

But we celebrated this Fourth Sunday in Advent

at a late tea after we arrived home.

Betty Cookies awaited us when we arrived home.

Friend Betty gifts us every year with an assortment of Christmas cookies.

It's a tradition of her grandmother and mother than she continues.

We're glad she does.

We lit the candle and said our prayer before we took tea.

The Fourth Sunday in Advent

The Fourth Candle is lit.

This is the Angels Candle
(The Angels brought the good news that the Savior of the world was born!)

Dearest God, as we light this candle, we remember the Angels who sang good tidings of great joy at Jesus' birth.    Let us also be the angels of good news to the people that we meet throughout our lives.   Amen.    
Come Lord Jesus
