This morning one of my friends and I met at the university chapel to begin Advent. When we decided to do this (weeks ago) I suggested we meet at this tiny chapel, but I really couldn't remember where it was on campus and I was a little nervous about parking. I shouldn't have worried. Parking was easy (you can use your credit card in the meter) and walking across the grounds was a cinch. It's cold today so I bundled up. When I entered the chapel, I was greeted by toasty air (yay for a heat!) and it was empty. I sat down and waited for my friend.
I read from an Advent book about seeking first HIS kingdom and played a song called Be Still. She read a sweet story about a little boy who played the innkeeper in a Christmas pageant. We cried a little. We prayed.
I left the little lamp behind.
Gladys Taber said, "As long as you have a window, life is exciting."
I had a cup of coffee and some lite peppermint ice cream for lunch.
Now I'll enjoy a nap.

What a pretty chapel. I am sure you felt refreshed and at peace. What a nice way to start the morning.
I hope you have a lovely nap this morning.
What a lovely way to celebrate Advent with your friend, and in such a sweet little chapel.
I had not heard that G.T. quote before but doesn't it just sound like something she would have said.
That is wonderful!! Often I feel so scattered and have a hard time paying attention at home, but when I get to church I feel that at least I have my body "showing up" in His temple, and that part of me leads the rest of me along... and it's a great beginning of a focused time. Which you certainly had, glory to God!
So it's your son that has the blog with the great name. I love that name.

Beautiful little chapel! I wish I could get my kids to blog daily! :) God bless your advent time. :)
What a lovely little chapel.
LOVE the red and white window topper.
What a lovely chapel. I need to clear some room in the freezer for some pep-stick ice cream!
What a sweet chapel. I love that it is so very close to where my son lives now. I wish he would stumble across it! Welcome, Brad! And finally I have discovered who Boyett-Brinkley is :) So nice to meet and hear other dear bloggers out there.
Love that chapel. "Where two or more are gathered..."
Thank you for posting every day. I love your chapel.
