So Christmas is rapidly approaching and we find ourselves nearly a week into Advent. This is a time of preparation and anticipation as we count down the weeks to the big day.
I love the Advent period, as we retell the amazing story of Jesus' birth. The scene is set, the different characters are introduced and the familiar yet so beautiful and powerful message of love is shared again.
It's also the time of buying and then wrapping presents, sending cards and of course watching Christmas films.
One of my favourites is the classic, Muppets Christmas Carol. I particularly like the three ghosts, especially the large absent minded Ghost of Christmas Present.
He says the great line to Ebenezer Scrooge, that I think God would echo to us all this Advent - "come inside and know me better".
Have a great day and an exciting Advent.
God bless
Chris
