If there is one thing I have always tried to emphasize to my kids, it is how fortunate they are. Of course, because they are kids, they do not always get it. To them, it is just Mom saying one more thing.
Advent is a good time to reflect on the many gifts we already have, and even on the many material things that make our lives more pleasant and less difficult.
There are so many blessings we receive during the Christmas season (not just the gifts, kids!). We often have the chance to reconnect with family and friends either face-to-face or through Christmas cards.
Accidents happen during this busy season. Remember that the child or pet who was at fault is ultimately more important than the thing that got broke.
Around this time of year, children often lose sight of the true purpose of the Advent season—preparing to celebrate Jesus’s birth. Unfortunately they are not alone—we adults also lose our way and get caught up in the frenzy of the pre-Christmas season.
Simplicity is not about being poor and deprived; rather it’s about being filled with joy because our needs and wants are no longer consuming us.
The nativity scene is an important part of our celebration of Christ’s birth.
Clearing your house of clutter might seem like the perfect project for Lent, it can be a fruitful Advent pursuit as well.
On this third Sunday of Advent, we hear an important message when John the Baptist tell the crowds to share what they have with those who have none.
The days leading up to Christmas can be exhausting. We need to remember to take care of ourselves so that we can enjoy the Advent season.
