On weekdays during Advent we are posting the daily reflection from our Abundance Advent booklet here on our blog. You can download the booklet in its entirety here.

5. family
6. food
7. games
8. clothes
JESSE, AGE 12
Throughout this year I have felt an abundance of friendship. I have always had friends, but this year I have felt blessed by them. In September our family went on our annual camping trip with our friends the Stouts. I am best friends with the oldest kid, Owen, and we love to play together. When we got to the campsite I was overjoyed to seehim. I have many friends that each add to my joy of life and I am glad for each and every one of them.
Another group of friends I have are adults and that is the Pansas. They are funny and I love to play games with them. They invited us to Maine this year and we went and shared a big cabin! We played in the water and went jet skiing, but my favorite part of the trip was hanging out with the Pansas. I have an abundance of friends and I am blessed by every one of them.
SIMON, AGE 13
When my family traveled to Maine this summer, we experienced an abundance of kindness and space. We stayed in a very nice cabin for free, with a lake and forest surrounding it. The Caldwells allowed us to use all of their lake toys; for example, we played with kayaks, paddleboards, and a jet ski. We had s’mores and food over the fire. My family had enough space to do as we wished without bothering anyone. We could read, play outside, and play games with our family and friends. Even on the way home from Maine were we given an abundance of good weather and safe traveling.
