With each passing day, we get closer and closer to the beauty of Christmas. Each week our Advent wreath has one more candle bringing light to our world. We will take time to enjoy the JOY that is so much a part of the Advent season, and the days leading up to the birth of Jesus. We are halfway there!

This week we will light the third candle on our Advent wreath ~ the pink candle of JOY!

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. Luke 2:10
