There’s a nonprofit organization in the D.C. area–Melwood–that provides job training and employment opportunities for people of “differing” abilities. They run commercials with the theme “I’m Perfect For The Job.” They are a moving reminder that everyone has something to offer, even if they don’t fit our preconceptions of the “perfect” job candidate.
All the stores wanted us to start getting ready for Christmas last weekend, but today is the first day of Advent, when we start getting ready for Christmas at church and in our spiritual lives. For most Christians, Advent has a dual meaning: we remember the first Christmas when Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds rejoiced at the birth of Christ, while we also await and prepare for Jesus’ promised return.
I try to observe Advent with a focus on “the reason for the season”–sharing the love, hope, and joy that comes from knowing God is with us.
Today three of my favorite link-ups are colliding, so let’s spend a few minutes runfessing over coffee, shall we? Deborah and I will keep the December Ultimate Coffee Date link up open through Sunday and hope you stop by other coffee date posts throughout the weekend.

I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving, scored whatever deals you were looking for on Black Friday, and also found time to #optoutside. I did a little bit of everything over the holiday, except for eating, which I did a lot of. 🙂
