Joy List Monday and The Three Legged Wolf

 The three legged wolf.
If you missed my story about our three legged wolf, read the post shared above.
Many asked to see the three legged wolf after reading his story of how he got a place on our Christmas tree.  His back grey leg is missing starting at the knee down.


 Joy List Monday
a weekly ritual
a reminder to stop and pay attention to the little beauties and graces that make life magical and to set aside time for gratitude each day

 ♫ fresh snow
♫ making new and old time favorite Christmas treats
♫ listening to Christmas music
♫ reading Advent each evening together as a family
♫ feeding the birds, squirrels and rabbits 
♫ homemade ornaments
♫ enjoying preparing for Christmas

  3. Fresh snow...we have some too. Somehow even the inside decorations look more festive with snow outside. ;)

  5. Darn it! I lost my comment when I went to read the 'wolf story'. lol
    I hope the 3 legged wolf was not an unspoken comment on your serving abilities. lol

    I love your JOY list and think you should turn it into a party. It is something we all need to do! xo Diana

  6. I love your Joy list and how you share the advent with your family. It makes Christmas even more special when we prepare for it. Now my life seems a bit too busy but I remember my childhood and how much I prepared during Advent and when finally Christmas came it was just that more magical and special.

  12. Carla, Advent devotions were my favorite part of Christmas when my kids were growing up. I think they loved them too. We had them every night, not just on Sundays. I miss those days so much--enjoy them now, Carla! It passes far too quickly.

  13. I love the three legged wolf, and glad you posted a picture. I've always had a tender spot in my heart for little broken or thrown away toys and animals...I probably need to seek help. :) Carla, when I click on your email (contact you) nothing happens. How can I email you? Thank you!
