Okay, so I admit I am a little perturbed at all the Christmas stuff going on. I can not even turn on the radio without hearing Christmas music. First off, I am not a grinch, I just wish the true season of Advent would get its just attention.
The Advent season is important too, it is the time we Christians are suppose to be in prayer and study for the arrival of Jesus. But as we are typical, we do not want to wait, we want it now, so we put up the tree, turn on the music and shop til we drop.
I ask all to remember that this season is NOT about the tree, lights, decorations, presents or even the feasts planned – Advent is our time of anticipation, desire to see and joy at the upcoming arrival of our Lord. DO NOT rush this season – savor with anticipation the coming – look forward with joy to His words – and sincerely appreciate the best gift ever given which was His life for our sins,
DO NOT RUSH
SAVOR
ANTICIPATE
APPRECIATE
Enjoy the Advent season more thoroughly and you may find that Christmas is all the more precious.
