December 2, 2021THE ADVENT SEASON
As we wait for Jesus’ return, we should stand and raise our heads for the Lord shall come to bring us peace. Many things in our world can distract us and even tempt us during our spiritual journey of waiting for the Lord. All the stores, newspapers, music on the radio stations and TV commercials remind us that Christmas is coming. They are encouraging us to buy and spend even the little money that we may have. Adoring Christ and the gift he is and brings to the world is our focus as people of faith. How can you replace a focus on buying with a focus on the Lord?
