Today is December the first, and also the first Sunday in Advent as we lead up to Christmas.
This morning in our 8.00am service we lit the first candle; the candle symbolizing Hope.
The first thing that anyone knew about the coming of Jesus was when the angel visited Mary to tell her that she was going to have a baby. Mary could hardly believe it, but she trusted God more than her eyes could see. Faith Box
Isaiah 11
Isaiah 42
Romans 15:13
Remember God gives us hope
Christmas is about God’s gift of hope to us but not just for us
Take some time to think about how God gives you hope.
I have been so busy over the last couple of months organising and running a women's retreat for women at our Church that I have not even thought about the coming Advent and Christmas season.
Last night I made our Christmas cake, so I am starting to prepare.
I want to reflect as I go thorough this time.
I love this quote from the faith box page:
“Let’s approach Christmas with an expectant hush, rather than a last-minute rush”
