Advent 2010

This is the first year that Joel and I have celebrated Advent in our home. Advent means "coming" and is meant to prepare our hearts for the coming of Jesus on Christmas Day. We were very encouraged by this blog post and have been using the "Born a child,yet a King" devotional. It has been so worshipful. I've had this centerpiece for awhile and it works perfect to represent the Advent season. Each red candle represents the weeks before Christmas and the white candle represents Christmas day. This is a pic from our first Sunday. May we be faithful to keep gazing at Baby Jesus, King Jesus this busy Christmas season!!
