As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I am excited to begin preparation of Christmas. Today, I will begin putting out decorations for a season that brings Jesus present in a Unique Way. I am going to bring that energy to life.
I’ll be putting out Christmas lights to brighten up this world. I’ll be putting up a tree and decorating it. I’ll be getting my Advent wreath ready for four weeks of anticipation and excitement, preparing for Jesus’s coming! I will set up a Nativity scene (but no Jesus in it yet) to remind me of the journey and story. I will unpack my mother’s favorite decoration, a bowl made from peppermints made by my grandmother! I will begin playing Christmas music and enjoying the Scriptures of the season.
This year, I will do everything I can to bring the true spirit of Christmas to myself and to everyone I encounter. We need Jesus. We need Jesus now more than ever. We need the light of Christ to shine on our world! What a great day to get ready, because ready or not, HERE HE COMES!

Thank you for your inspiring words. I would not have made it through this year without Jesus in my life. God Bless
Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus!
Does anyone have or can you tell me where to find advent prayers. I don’t like the ones that came with the candles.
