We are celebrating advent together as a community by doing this thing called the Jesse Tree. Today steve and I sat snuggled up on our couch with the Christmas lights twinkling remembering that the Christmas began as a love story.

The Jesse Tree took us back to the very beginning and reminded us that our creator God said "Let US make man"... our advent author referenced it as 'the great huddle of hearts'... how three beings (Father God, Son Jesus and Holy spirit) came together in love and imagined all of creations. Imagine all of me, all of steve and all of YOU!

It also reminded us that it was in love that we were made and created in the image of God ... which is love.

It is exciting and beautiful to realize how loving and perfect everything was in those first moments of creations. What was that like?

I then played steve this new song I just got. We sat listening to the song inspired by the story of creations. Its screams out let there be light! reminding us even more how God loves to make something in the mist of nothing. To bring light in spite of the dark... hope in the mist of despair. Getting so excited to unwrap more of this story of Jesus!!
