Alphabet Advent: A is for Angel

If all works out .... I'll have 26 entries by New Years.

I've always wanted to do Advent - and have a theme or something.

So this year,

I was inspired to do an alphabet.

First,

I looked up some for ideas...

And then sat down with Story and we brainstormed.

We'll have to do more - but we are starting with 

A IS FOR ANGEL

An Angel visited Mary to tell her that God had chosen her.

An angel appeared to Joseph in a dream -

first to tell him to take Mary as a wife,

and later to warn him to escape Herod.

Angels came to invite shepherds to Jesus' birth.

Read a Story

I found several Kindle books about Angels to read,

two of which I have picked up for free - 

all of these are under $5.

I couldn't share this image - but it uses the letter A for the skirt.
Very clever!
