The kettle hums softly as I pour steaming tea into my favorite mug. I pull out the parable ten virgins lamps coloring page — a reminder of being prepared. Each of the six images invites contemplation. The scene of the five wise virgins, oil-filled lamps aglow, contrasts with the unprepared ones. As I color, I repeat, 'Here's the bridegroom!
