5 Days to a More Peaceful Advent :: Presence

The sun sets early these days.  Why not spend these long nights together?

What you do together isn’t the most important thing.  It’s committing to shared experience.  It’s setting time apart.  It’s closing up the laptop.  It’s creating a strong family culture.  It’s giving the gift of your presence.

      Peace keep you.
