Advent Conspiracy
We are preparing for Advent, which begins Sunday. We will make a wreathe with four purple candles to remind us that we are making ready our souls for the coming of the Saviour. Dad will lead family prayers and Lenten readings every evening with the candles lit. We will sing Advent hymns.
The house will be cleaned and re-organized to prepare for the great event, the Incarnation of Our Lord Jesus. Special food and decorations will be made. We will endeavor to not ‘celebrate’ before time.
We will take all opportunities to share our gifts of money and talent. We will include our neighbours in our ‘cookies and carols’ evening, and reach out to those who are far from family.
These are the things we usually do, and they help us to keep focused on the EVENT, and God’s purpose in it.
This story from today, the day after Thanksgiving, is especially disturbing.
Two people were killed in a mad rush to BUY STUFF. Two people killed, and ignored while shoppers continued shopping.
ADVENT CONSPIRACY has an idea of how to overcome the corruption of the Christmas/Advent season that has become the ‘norm’ in our sad, sad, society.
