I really ...Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Jamie. I really like your point about "if Jesus was physically coming to my house on Dec. 25, I would be getting ready for Him." So true! I think that I just need to make sure I'm doing all the preparations for the right reasons, and that the busyness is not taking over the preparation I need to make in my heart for His coming.<br /><br />Did you get a lot of snow?! It's so pretty! And it also reminded me of Mary's purity yesterday =)<br /><br />P.S. I added a new link to that song, if you want to try it again ...Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530114345117741249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-64503050013368699022009-12-08T23:06:31.761-06:002009-12-08T23:06:31.761-06:00Glad your tree is back up and I also love Mary Han...Glad your tree is back up and I also love Mary Hannah's thoughts about Jesus in the fall. :)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09168808776950608457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-18294811851104884672009-12-08T22:28:07.670-06:002009-12-08T22:28:07.670-06:00Jamie, that was such a great post!

And I'm already finding that I've had a lot of time for a deeper look into preparing my heart this Advent. A time to look more into my restlessness and being content in waiting in joyful hope. <br />A blessed season it is!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604810218733272554noreply@blogger.com
