Odors of spices permeated my little kitchen to prepare for this day.It took days in small amounts of time to decorate the cottage on "Gingerbread Circle"which Austin had mumbled through his younger days until he began chunking words, and he realized that it was Granger View Circle. This Advent Brunch was prepared.
The festive tables were stacked with home-made goodies and pots of steaming wassail that reminded me of past days when a lovely lady, Lucretia Farmer, introduced me to this delightful English drink.She would be pleased if she knew I have carried on her tradition.
The guests were greeted by beautiful young teen-agers who were hostesses in their new vintage aprons. As bubbly as they were, they shared that message.
There is something contagious about anticipation that we feel prior to Christmas. Children catch it easily, but the truth is that in our confused world of values, we need His light. It is not wishful thinking, but light that elevates our spirit out of our doldrums.
This particular day was sunny and unusually bright for early December. It was like God was setting the stage of anticipation for His children.
What would we like to see happen this Advent season? Can we listen for His still small voice and let Him speak in the midst of our busy-ness?
