Advent, Self Belief, $100 million offers
We started the season of Advent this past Sunday. - Advent is celebrated on four consecutive Sundays, beginning on the Sunday closest to November 30 and ending on December 24, Christmas Eve. Each Sunday has a traditional meaning and prayers and readings assigned to it; they represent, in order, the Christian virtues of love, joy, hope, and peace
The four traditional advent themes for the four advent Sundays are:
God's people -The Candle of Hope. Hope is like a light shining in a dark place. ...The Old Testament prophets - The Candle of Peace. ...John the Baptist - The Candle of Love. ...Mary the mother of Jesus - The Candle of Joy.
Lord, in this busy and uncertain season please help me to be mindful and still. Open my ears to hear amazing things from YOU, quietly preparing my heart for the wonder of YOUR coming at Christmas

We did a virtual Ramen class with a chef in Paris last Sunday. The recipe was so good!!! I would highly recommend the culinary experience 😊 Spicy Miso Ramen… YUM!
