Today's Advent picture comes from last year. One of the parents ordered me a beautiful present from Bethlehem last year from a charity. A beautiful nativity scene carved out of one piece of wood. On the reverse is the rest of the log. It was SUCH a thoughtful present from this lovely, kind Muslim parent who knew I was a Christian. She told me that she had seen them and knew she had to order one for me. It sits on my mantle-piece now and I think of that boy and his lovely mother now after he has left- like they are carved in my memory. I never expect presents, but every so often, a child will give me a memorable present like this. The best one ever was a sonic screwdriver!!! But that wouldn't make a good advent picture!
I hope all is well with you and you are having a lovely day!
I don't have a lot to say today, am rather tired. I haven't managed to visit everyone today or the day before. Sorry, have been out rather late and rather exhausted!
I did think I should share this beautiful sky we experienced one morning last week.
Today, I had to go to town to return a product to a shop and pick up my Secret-santa gift for school- I was pleased to get my Headteacher as mine and I got him some posh socks from his favourite shop in TK Maxx. As I left, I saw a lovely large group of people from the local Baptist church there singing outside Sainsbury's. It was lovely to hear them as I shopped. Then, as they finished, I heard a fine Brass band playing further down the street. At the station, the Scouts were singing carols. How musical was that town today!
