In the Advent Calendar today:
"Think of how much your teachers do for you every day.
Write a letter to one who you are especially thankful for.
Tomorrow morning deliver it with a treat from Starbuck's
Don't forget to read today's advent devotion."
Because of school we didn't get to the advent calendar/devotion until tonight.
Nights like tonight remind me of why I have not tried to do something like this in a while.
The kids were hysterical.
We tried to get them to refocus.
We asked for their thoughts.
They told us about a girl at school who just got her braces off.
And showed us pictures they discovered while looking up the Bible verse.
They thought they were the funniest people ever.
And could not stop laughing.
I am really proud of both my husband and myself.
Because we laughed with them.
We looked at the pictures.
We let go of our agenda.
We let ourselves appreciate what was sacred about this night.
And sent the kids to bed early.
