Our family began a new tradition last year to celebrate
Advent. We have always focused on the true meaning of Christmas in our home, as
this is a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Messiah, in Bethlehem.
Sure, we have our fun traditions of Christmas and will continue. We love to
bake cookies, sing fun Christmas songs, and buy gifts. But this was a way to focus our
attention even more on the celebration of Jesus birth, the first coming, and
also look in great anticipation for his second coming, when he returns for his
bride!
I am excited to begin this again tomorrow on the first
Sunday of Advent. It was a wonderful time as a family last year as it made us
pause and share scripture together, pray together, and celebrate together what
God has done and is doing now. A beautiful time of expectation and remembrance!
Here is a little video by LifeWay that explains a little
about the Advent season.
