Advent

     Advent, the “before” time; before we celebrate Christ’s birth.  It is also in today’s modern world, one of the busiest times of the year.   We shop, cook, clean, wrap, bake, party all in His honor.  But do we remember and revere Him as we do all the “things” or just get caught up in the busyness?

Lord, as I go about my preparations, help me to be mindful who this is really about.  May I always remember that your Son’s birth was such a miracle, like no other, and let me remember it with awe.

     John 3:16  “For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.”
