Advent is the period of four Sundays and weeks before Christmas (or sometimes from the 1st December to Christmas Day!). Advent means 'Coming' in Latin. This is the coming of Jesus into the world. Christians use the four Sundays and weeks of Advent to prepare and remember the real meaning of Christmas.

There are three meanings of 'coming' that Christians describe in Advent. The first, and most thought of, happened about 2000 years ago when Jesus came into the world as a baby to live as a man and die for us. The second can happen now as Jesus wants to come into our lives now. And the third will happen in the future when Jesus comes back to the world as King and Judge, not a baby.

There are several ways that Advent is counted down but the most common is by a calendar or candle(s).

Some European countries such as Germany use a wreath of fir with 24 bags or boxes hanging from it. In each box or bag there is a little present for each day.

We just celebrated Thanksgiving today.  I have so much I am thankful for. I am looking forward to celebrating the birth of my Saviour in the coming month. 

Thank you Lord for your blessings and beauty I see everyday

 Thanksgiving Delights

On Thanksgiving Day we're thankful for
Our blessings all year through,
For family we dearly love,
For good friends, old and new.

For sun to light and warm our days,
For stars that glow at night,
For trees of green and skies of blue,
And puffy clouds of white.

We're grateful for our eyes that see
The beauty all around,
For arms to hug, and legs to walk,
And ears to hear each sound.

The list of all we're grateful for
Would fill a great big book;
Our thankful hearts find new delights
Everywhere we look!

Thank you
For being everything you always are
For being there like no one else
You know my heart
Do you realize what you've done for me
You made me see that love is worth believing in
I want to thank you for being 
The one thing I can count on in my life
For always giving more than you have to give
I love you for everything you do

My Tribute Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
How can I say thanks
for all the things You have done for me?
Things so undeserved,
yet You gave to prove Your love for me.
The voices of a million angels
could not express my gratitude.
All that I am and ever hope to be,
I owe it all to Thee.

[Chorus 1:]
To God be the glory,
to God be the glory,
to God be the glory
for the things He has done.

[Chorus 2:]
With His blood He has saved me,
with His power He has raised me.
To God be the glory
for the things He has done.

[Bridge:]
Just let me live my life,
let it be pleasing, Lord, to Thee.
And should I gain any praise,
let it go to Calvary.

[Chorus 2]
