Advent: Day 13

Lego Star Wars Calendar:

Activities:
free hot chocolate stand
deliver hot chocolate to salvation army bell ringers

this our third year setting up a free hot chocolate stand
the last two years it has been FREEZING cold
this year we finally had the perfect weather
and our most successful stand yet!

 the girls made a great team assembling the hot chocolate for our customers

the boys were our marketing department
running up and down the sidewalk yelling "free hot chocolate. its 100% free" ha!

after we finished our hot chocolate stand, i made up a few cups of hot chocolate and we drove across the street and delivered hot chocolate to the salvation army bell ringers

it was so fun to see their reaction! 
 this might have been my favorite part of the day

Bible Verses:
He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
 (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’”)  Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.  For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.  No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
John 1:10-18
