Dear Advent Gratitude 2014 Friends, Is it just me or is the clock speeding up as we head toward Christmas Day? About 15 minutes ago it was 9:00 a.m. and I was leisurely reading the news on-line and then started wrapping presents....now its 2:20 p.m. How did that happen????!!!? Because you may not be checking Facebook frequently in the next 36 hours Im posting Advent/Christmas Day now! First: Place a white candle in the center of your Advent Wreath. This candle represents the coming of Christ. On Christmas Eve or Christmas Morning light ALL the candles -- the light has come into the world! Alleluia! The scripture is John 1:1-14: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. “There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God — children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth” . Im adding a link to a modern rendition of Joy to the World. Its time to celebrate! https://youtube/watch?v=tC3SwhJsLqU
