This weekend we put up some twinkle lights on the hedge in our tiny front garden, and enjoyed the school Christmas play! When I asked my 7 year old daughter if I should do her hair in a special way for the play, she said, “It doesn’t matter Mommy, I just have a tea towel on my head anyway.” Ha! She was a shepherd.
I am drawing a joyful memory of every day of Advent this year, to remind myself that there are moments to be grateful for even when life can feel hard and complicated!
