Advent 2012

30 11 2012

The past few years I’ve given up a combination of my Facebook and Twitter statuses (stati?!) each advent to put up a bible verse each day to tell the Christmas Story over the period.

This year for a change I’m doing something a little different. Each day the bible verses will appear here on my blog instead of on my social networks, and with each one I’ll share a video. Some days it’ll be carols, other days Christmas messages, other days silly clips, and still other days Christmas pop songs – all sorts!

So do visit over December, see what you find! 🙂

A little bonus to get you in the mood – matching the weather outside!





The real meaning of Advent

27 11 2011

Today is Advent Sunday, the fourth Sunday before Christmas.

When I was little, I’m sure I was always taught that advent was a time of looking forward to Christmas, looking forward to celebrating the anniversary of the birth of Christ. But today, I learnt that that’s not it’s actual meaning!

Advent means “coming” or “arrival”. It’s the time when we celebrate the anniversary of Christ’s first advent, and anticipate His second. So that’s celebrating the anniversary of the birth of Christ (rather than looking forward to celebrating it), and anticipating the day when He returns in glory!

Is this news to anyone else?!
