Yes, a time to settle quietly and prepare.<br /><br />I just read your last post, too, and loved it. We have a few pew claimers in my church! I like to think they would not ask anyone to move, though. I like to sit in the back because visitors often sit in the back and I can meet them and welcome them.Galen Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189831838630645863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-6072524802287743852012-11-30T04:14:41.501-08:002012-11-30T04:14:41.501-08:00Thanks so much for visiting, Irene!

Advent is a wonderful time to reflect upon God loving us so much that He chose to be born and live among us in order to save us all. May you have a most blessed Advent season, my friend!<br />Blessings to you!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-74969827974608085712012-11-30T02:36:27.858-08:002012-11-30T02:36:27.858-08:00How time flies, Advent is just around the corner! ...How time flies, Advent is just around the corner! :-) This post is a great reminder for me to be prepared for Christ's second coming. I admit and am embarrassed that I am losing focus on that because my attention was drawn to worldly things lately like money and success. But a relationship with God and being committed to that relationship with Him is the most important thing because it will last for eternity.<br /><br />Thank you so much for the beautiful reminder, Martha! God bless and much love to you <3 :-)Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328342211129410370noreply@blogger.com
