It's That Time Again....

Time for the house to express the Joy of the Christmas Season.
I love the season of Advent, of waiting for the birth of Jesus and waiting, in the larger sense, for His Second Coming!

Our homes should reflect that sense of Joy and expectancy.

We have so many more people coming and going in our home these days. I am so happy to be sharing our space! We are exploring so many things, and I am so happy to have a place in which to welcome people.

This house has been a blessing in so many ways and for so many purposes.
A place that welcomed us to Havre de Grace, a place where we have welcomed children and have raised and schooled them. It has been full of our friends, and their friends.
Homeschooling activities and family activities.

And now we are in a new phase and it is opening it's doors to a different purpose.
We are hosting several studies and groups on a weekly basis, and it is really a pretty good meeting space! The Monday Bible Study has been coming here for years now, and we have a TV set-up that I can move in and out of my office so that we can watch the videos.
That group is so dear to my heart. They are some of the best friends that I have.
We have had the young adults here, off and on, and we have also started hosting our St Patrick's small group.
I started another study of the Great Adventure Bible Timeline, because I really wanted to go through it again, and now they come here on Friday nights.

There will be more, God willing.

This is really the mission of the family in the world, to build up the community and the Church, and I love that our home is able to share in that mission. It makes our home a space where the Lord is able to minister to His people. It is an honor.

What an immense Blessing!
