What Is Advent?

Hi there Diamond Glamor Girls,

There are many great things to learn about the holiday. Spiritual, religious,  believe, it's so much more than just presents. What is the most important thing to know about the holiday's?  I would have to say, learn why the season excist.

Now back to the question. What is advent?

As Billy Graham said it; "As you gather your loved ones for these Advent meditations, we pray that the Holy Spirit would shine His light in your hearts and bring focus to all your Christmas celebrations: “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11, ESV)."

The dictionary explains it as.

"Advent is a season observed in many Christian churches as a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas. The term is a version of the Latin word meaning "coming"." Wikipedia

Some believe it is to  focus on the unexpected. That's why the advent calendars that are on sale are important. They have little unexpected surprises. Things, people, places you hadn't pray for that just happen. As I learned it.  it is a time to pray for all the things one wants. However, the reality is that their are things that happen in life that are unexpected. We need to be gracefully gracious accepting God's will in our lives. Continuing to pray anyway and asking God for help and wisdom through good times and unexpected times. n how to have grace in our daily living.
