Advent Candles

Carpe Diem Seven days to Christmas #3 Candles

This is my second piece.  For Christmas, I cannot help think of Advent Candles lit during a time when we prepare our hearts for the coming of the savior who's birth was for his death, his death for our rebirth.

penitence and preparation
for the coming King

    1. Feel free to use any you want. I've been extremely busy with pet portraits that people have ordered for Christmas and haven't had much time for writing.
