A Pinkie Promise

Last night, my sister, friends and I attended the Advent by Candlelight Dessert Night at her church. At the beautifully decorated table, we shared a delicious cake with whipped topping and strawberries, and a cup of chocolates and maple walnuts, with tea or coffee. We chatted for awhile and then moved into the church. Several women talked about the meaning of the four Advent candles--peace, hope, joy and love. And we made a pinkie promise to the women next to us to live a life of peace, hope, joy and love--not just at Christmas but throughout the entire year. It is good, I think, to be accepting of each other.
