Advent, launched this morning! I have decided to make this years theme gifts and tools. God has given us all the gifts and tools that we need to excel in life. To illustrate the point I will be using the phrase "you have everything you need", 24 letters. On the 25th the grand finale will be GO!, go use the gifts and tools you have been given and impact the world around you.
I wrote one letter per ornament which will be discovered each morning by a different kid, once found the ornaments with the letters are strung on a ribbon, eventually spelling out the phrase. Additionally, I have wrapped a large gift box and written down fruits of the spirit, each day will bring a new focus and call to action. Today we began with peace, go be a peace maker, record it on the gift box.
The stockings have been hung by the chimney with care and from time to time I will put a treat in them to carry out the theme, albeit loosely at times. Today they found vanilla milk, white, when you hold up a white flag you are surrendering and looking for peace.
As a bonus my husbands gifts are all in this large box, he will be thrilled with what the kids record on the box. Probably, he won't pay much attention to it until I give it to him on Christmas, I know he will really like seeing what the kids have done with their gifts.
