For the first week of Advent...

I put up my Christmas tree and decorations.

Aaaaah, so cozy. Minus the nasty gas heater. Ugh.

Why yes, yes I did hang a stocking for my leetle cat, Dzoey.

My jewel-tone Christmas tree.

My peacock tree topper.

My little German friend.

I like my ornaments afresh every year.

A new addition.

And during the day, it looks like this:


Isn't she gorgeous?



I like peacock feathers.



The first week of my first observance of Advent is coming to an end. Here are some thoughts:

~ It's been serious...which I think is appropriate.
~ Promises made, promises waited for, promises kept.
~ How would I think, act, live if I was truly awaiting my Savior's return?
~ Hope is not always a childlike giddiness over candy...it can be a somber confidence in reality.

O come, o come Emmanuel.
