~Watching a deer dash into our neighbor's yard (appropriate for today's village tree lighting)
~New snow tires that make all the difference in icy, slushy driving

Winslow's Advent Musings: Occupy Advent- Day 3

Winslow loves the countdown 

to Christmas because

the best gift

is at the

end: 

Jesus! 

Winslow's Advent Musings: Occupy Advent- Day 2

Winslow thinks 

that a 

stocking with your 

own initial on it

is a tangible reminder

that God of the universe

knows your name 

and has a gift 

just for you....

....his Son!

Winslow thinks 

it is good to 

take time 

to be more mindful 

of the season...

...Jesus...

don't rush and miss the wonder!
