Advent is approaching...

Can you believe we are already into December next week!!! I always thought the saying "time flies" was a funny one, but here I am, using it ALL THE TIME! We started talking about Advent in class to prepare for the first Sunday on Advent this weekend. Mrs. Taylor made a beautiful wreath for our prayer table that we will begin to light on Monday during prayer. You might want to talk about making or getting a wreath for your home. It's a wonderful reminder of getting our hearts prepared for Jesus, not just getting our homes prepared for Christmas.
