Faith in Parenting

Advent, which begins this Sunday, is a season of preparation for Christmas; and it’s about much more than trimming the tree and finishing your shopping. It’s about preparing your heart to receive the Savior.

As moms, we can sometimes get so caught up in wanting to do something “right” that we never get around to doing it. Advent devotions can be like that; we have the best of intentions, and yet the weeks go by and we don’t quite get into the practice of establishing a routine for Advent devotions.

This season, I want to encourage you that there’s no right or wrong way to go about preparing your heart and your family for the true meaning of Christmas. What matters is that we do something and that we invite the Holy Spirit to teach us.

That’s what we’re going to talk about on this week’s Tuesdays at 2:00 support call: Ideas for Planning Your Family’s Advent Devotions. We’ll be sharing ideas and coming up with a basic outline for what we want to cover on the four Sundays in Advent.

But remember; there’s no single right or wrong way to get Advent devotions started. These are just ideas!
