It has been almost a month since we started hearing Mariah Carey Christmas songs in shops and on the radio so advent must finally be upon us!
Advent is a season of preparation and is always worth taking note of before the inevitable busyness of December takes hold. But why wait for something that you will know will happen anyway? I think that I personally enjoy anything more that I have been excited about for weeks, even simple things like eating my favourite food or going to a particular place are elevated by anticipation. It’s the same with advent and Christmas!
The other strand of advent is that God who was able to come to earth and live among us will come again. We will meet God and our confidence is simple. God said he would come and live among us which he did in Jesus. He also said he would come again and we can be equally confident in his goodness and return.
