Thursday Writing...12/6/18..."Coming to A Day to Remember"

Good morning,

We are in the month when many people are thinking about and preparing for Christmas and the rituals they have built around that day that commemorates the birth of Jesus. There are symbols of much of what is on our minds pictured here. It is a time of business and many other activities that are part of how you celebrate Christmas. Many people and denominations celebrate what is called Advent for four weeks. You are preparing right now for observing the grand happening that is the basis of Christmas.  All the other things that are built around are very enjoyable as long as we focus on the Reason the season.

Have a great day! Alelulia! He came to give us salvation!

God,

 we thank you for Your blessings

that happen because you sent your only Son

to save your children here on earth.

A lot of our season is built on the traditions

of how a family celebrates this miracle..

some of it spiritual and some secular.

We pray that all families

will come away from this year's

CELEBRATION OF THE BIRTH OF JESUS

with a heightened awareness 

of the blessings from the real

REASON FOR THE SEASON!

And...

To all who read the devotionals and writings in 

 Women's Focus Ministries

thank you for your faithfulness

prayers that your Christmas celebrations
will be all you hope.

Prayers and loving wishes that you have a very

an exceptional Christmas season.

Advent 

a season observed in many Christian churches and by many people during the four weeks prior to Christmas Day as a time of
expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas as well as the return of Jesus at the second coming. The term is a version of the Latin word meaning "coming"
