ADVENT '25: DRAW NEAR

 DRAW NEAR:

lighting the advent path

by Teri McDowell Ott

This series of Advent devotional drawings is based on the Presbyterian Outlook advent publication for 2025.  Each drawing includes an excerpt from today's scripture, the devotion title, a path filled with my daily prayers, and a haiku or brief poem summarizing the devotion.  As we move closer to Christmas, the candles will begin to fill the space and the four key words of advent, hope, peace, joy, and love will appear.  

Week One:  HOPE

Week Two:  PEACE

November 2025: A Month of Gratitude

 NOVEMBER 2025:

A Month of Gratitude

I decided to switch for the end of the year from my Morning Mercies book and just look at the Biblical theme of thanksgiving and gratitude to God.  I will consciously seek out those small moments each day (and some big ones!) to say 'Thank You, God!'  Daily prayers and scripture are included in each graphic.
