Adventures Through Advent
The sight of an Advent wreath fills me with memories of my children making their wreaths on the first Sunday of Advent. They were so proud as their creations were placed on the table and lit each Sunday evening.
As we moved through the weeks of Advent, we prepared for the coming of the Christ child in many ways, lighting the candles, Advent calendars with their daily surprises and of course, buying gifts for friends and family.
As we approached Christmas Eve, there was always that feeling of awe and anticipation. The children’s Christmas Eve service was always filled with youngsters clutching their figures to be placed at the Crèche as the Christmas Story was told. Thank you, Mrs. Doris Anderson for the many sheep.
This season and especially Christmas Eve, holds many emotions for me. I am grateful to my St. Mary Anne’s family for their support and love to me and my family. Christmas Blessings to all.
