Light of the World

1st night of Advent. 22 years of Advent Jesse Tree devotional. 1st year with Voskamp Advent Wreath.

Symbol: Globe of the Earth

Hymns for this first night: This Is My Father's World & How Great Thou Art

First son plays piano softly (mostly) as background in between singing, devotional, and prayer (and "I'll be quick" trip to necessity room).

Over all our time, this glow, this heaven-sent burden borne by the donkey-riding girl-woman, adventing our world, our lives, our comforts, our conveniences, our hurts, our sadnesses, our disappointments, our brokenness, to bear our sins so we can be borne to eternal life, to bear this Gospel message to all who will hear.
