Are you ready for Advent?
November 27th is the first Sunday in Advent. Perhaps having the Christmas items out immediately after Thanksgiving this year isn’t so early (though we know virtually EVERY retailer already has them out!) 😮
Advent provides yet another season with opportunities to love as God loves us. Whether using Lectionary verses or another devotional resource, this time of year offers wonderful chances for Christian study and action.
Perhaps this year you’ll want to follow along with some Christian Playbook posts based on the book Prepare the Way by Pamela C. Hawkins? Here’s a sampling from the back cover of that resource:
“Pamela Hawkins invites you to make room in your heart for the coming of Christ. Skillfully and tenderly she guides you through four weeks of prayer, reflection, and action centered on these themes: peace, justice, fearlessness, and faithfulness.”
No need to read along with the book, but it just may enhance the Advent experience… CP will be starting on those posts beginning next Monday (since that’s the week leading up to the first Sunday in Advent!)
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consider making plans to enjoy regular reading of your Bible, Prepare the Way or another devotional resource during Advent.
May the experience of this Advent season – including the reading, thinking and acting ahead – help each of us towards “peace, justice, fearlessness, and faithfulness.” Enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit!
