The DAY arrived. We went to our make-shift home/sanctuary/ with the added holiday elements concocted earlier. In the morning we observed the 4th Sunday in Advent with a devotion on the lighting of all the candles and their messages. After a flurry of kitchen activity and music practice and last preparations, all gathered for the festive dinner - preceded by the placing of Baby Jesus in the manger, with the recitation of Luke 2: 7, for the opening of Christmas Eve festivities. At dusk, the candles were re-lit, and we read, sang, and recited the message of “Peace, Peace, Precious Peace.”
Even dinner was a combination of informal cold-platter supper and formal hot roast dinner. But it got eaten with gusto, so all is well.
To you is born the Savior. Glory to God in the highest.
