Daybook: December

Living Seasonally:
We’re through Fall and Thanksgiving and we leave behind so much of the fun we had for that season and head into this season of Advent and Christmas. I think of all the things I’d love to do for Christmas “this year”, the baking, the gifting, the activities and just thinking about it makes me tired.
With all these little sugar babies I just don’t have the time or the energy to do it all and honestly, I think that’s the way it should be. I’m learning to be thankful for the times of the day that I just have to sit down with Ephraim to feed him, it can frustrate me to have to leave what I’m in the middle of, but it is a constant “STOP” in my day to force me to think on what is most important for that moment and for all the moments of life, for this season of my life.
As we enter Advent I think on that a lot, the forced “STOP”, the hush that these penitential seasons bring to our busy days as we wait and prepare for Christmas, as we wait for our Christ, as we wait for that eternal and glorious rest to come. The blessed day when we can put down all our busy days, our work, our burdens.
Thanksgiving At The Pasonage

My neighbor made this pretty arrangement for me from pumpkins she baked. I love the colors she chose.
Like everything around the parsonage lately, this post is slow in coming, I know. I came down with a nasty cold on Thanksgiving day and have just begun to get back to feeling as normal as I can feel these days. Here’s a peak at our very simple Thanksgiving meal.
