Advent in Seekerville!

 O come, o come Emmanuel!

During this wonderful, marvelous season of waiting and anticipation of Christ's birthday, the Seekers are sharing some of our favorite recipes, thoughts, hymns and songs and traditions as we move through the beauty of a waitful Advent.... and a glorious morning to rejoice in Christ's birth. Emmanuel! God with us! 

I have so many favorite Christmas hymns and songs. 

This compilation/mix is a huge Ruthy favorite: 

And when it comes to recipes for holiday get togethers, there are so many! I'm going to give you this one today, Clams Casino Dip, a recipe that we used at parties about forty years ago and I pulled out of the old recipe box to revive it for this holiday season. It was time to change things up a bit, you know?

And there is a NEW RUTHY BOOK that had hit the shelves, a Christmas mystery from Guideposts! 

                                   "Love's a Mystery in Cut and Shoot, Texas"! 

In true Ruthy-style, this wonderful story kind of grabs your heart from the get-go and doesn't let go.

She can't get over the guilt of a tragic accident and he can't get over the fact that he can't fix it, and if you know anything about cowboys, they like to fix things.... But when a tiny baby gets delivered by a suspicious old man, that sure as shootin' gives him something to fix. Starting with non-stop diapers and a hungry baby girl....

Who was the old man?

And why is baby Libby here, at the ranch?

There's one thing he does know... 

He can't do this alone and who better to call on for help than his beloved, estranged wife?

You'll laugh, you'll sigh, you might shed a tear or two, but in the end... you're going to love, love, love this story.
