Sunday In My Town

Sunday begins with church. Getting ready for church, dressing the grandson, walking the 1/2 block to church and settling in with the congregation that worships together weekly.

One of the first parts of church is bringing in the light of Christ.

Today is the Third Sunday of Advent.

Wilderness and desert will sing joyously, the badlands will celebrate and flower---Like the crocus in spring, bursting into blossom, a symphony of song and color. Isaiah 35:1

Patsy reads the advent story while her mother lights the candle of joy.

Advent is the special time before Christmas. Preparing the way for the birth of Jesus.

I received this link in an email today.

It's a music video called "Where's the line to see Jesus?" It says a lot about Advent and the way we celebrate Christmas.

My daughter and I completed the Third Day of Advent in our town by leaving it and going to Lawton to get some Christmas shopping done. Old traditions die hard. :~)
