The Third Sunday of Advent 2017

We are getting closer and closer to Christmas Day. The celebration of the birth of Jesus is indeed upon us. 

Hopefully, all our packages are sent and the cards are mailed.  The cookies  are made and food is bought.  The Christmas tree is dressed, the house is cleaned, and decorations are on display.  How did we do it all?

This Sunday will give us an opportunity to still our minds and hearts and to contemplate the celebration of the Nativity.  It is time to spend with family and friends.

Once again it is time to light the Third Candle in the Advent season.  It was a tradition in the home I grew up in and I carry on that tradition in my own home.  It is the same every year, year after year.


This is the Season of Advent and it is a beautiful season to listen to a beautiful rendition of "Lo, How a Rose  E'er Blooming" by the American opera singer Renee Fleming.


 I feel blessed for being able to enjoy a rose in my garden.  Blessings to you too.
This is the season.
Thank you for visiting my blog.
