My worktable in the sewing room is a mess right now, with 1,000 things being constructed at once. Well, only 4, but it feels like 1,000. I may be prone to exaggeration. Silje’s cat (her Christmas gift from me) came together last night, except for 1 ear. It was pushing midnight, and I decided to leave the last ear until morning. Really, these are coming along really fast, and I’m pleased with that.
Along with the rest of the world, it seems, we are going through Ann Voskamp’s children’s Advent book Unwrapping the Greatest Gift.
Well, honestly, we forgot to do our reading yesterday…which was Day 2.
I can’t believe I dropped the ball on that this year, this early. Sigh. Fortunately, we can do 2 readings today, and even more fortunately, we’re not reading a book about how wonderful our works are and how impressed God is with us. Nope. We’re reading a story about God rescuing us, and his unfailing, unconditional love when we seem to constantly fail. It’s the story of love coming down, and reaching us because we couldn’t be perfect.
So I think it might be okay that Day 2 is read alongside Day 3.
Linking up with Ginny’s Yarn Along.

December 3, 2014 at 4:06 pmI can see there is going to be an Advent yarn along theme! I did a double take when I saw you had the same book as Ginny.
The cat looks amazing so far! Alicia Paulson is an amazing designer!

December 4, 2014 at 3:08 pmThis post was so encouraging because we, too, had forgotten Day 2 of that book. We read day 2 & 3 on day 3 and I think without your post I would have given up; another year without a daily advent devo with the kids. Instead we’re back on track.
Thanks!
