Looking forward to a Christian Christmas

First Sunday of Advent

01.12.19 | The Candlelighter | No Comments

daily affirmation

Today is the candle of prophecy, or as some call it “the candle of hope”. We recall the prophecies that God revealed during centuries leading up to the advent of Jesus the Messiah, our Savior.

“The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” -Revelation 19:10

Consider using a Christmas Calendar of Kindness this month to guide you into doing small acts of kindness for others each day. These can be done prophetically, with intent of sharing the love and expectation of Christ to those you meet, as well as in your family.

Whether you make up your own, or use one that is available for printing out, it can make your season fill with the meaning of Christmas
