My thanks to Amy for starting this. Each week it has been great, and I really enjoy reading everyone else’s scripture.
Today I really wanted to do Luke 2, but figure I’ll wait on that one until a little closer to Christmas. My verse that I chose is John 8:12.
When Jesus spoke to again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
We’ve been trying to turn off the lights when we do our advent readings, to help show to the kids that Jesus is the light. We read by the light of the candle, and it just brings a peace to the room. Even when the kids are arguing over who gets to blow out the candle, or turn on the lights, there is a peace like no other. Let Jesus be your light, and bask in the glow of His love. Peace be with you!
I haven’t really gotten my kids involved in the whole advent thing. I guess I really should. It seems everyone in the blogosphere is doing it in one way or the other and it seems like a great thing to do.
I love the verse!
Thanks for participating.
