Advent 3: The Pink Candle

Today is the 3rd Sunday in Advent.  In some churches, the paraments will change to a rose/pink color.  Many more of us will light the 3rd candle on our Advent wreaths; how many of us will have a pink candle.

I didn't plan to have a pink candle for my windowsill Advent wreath:

But last night, I decided to try an experiment with my markers.  The candles are plastic, so I expected that the alcohol based ink would slide right off onto my fingers.  But it didn't!

I have enjoyed having this windowsill Advent wreath.  Each morning, I "light" the candles, and center myself. 

I look forward to seeing how I carry this practice forward.  I will keep the birch lanterns.  What else will I add?
