My family always treated Advent as a mini Lent. Advent and Christmas was totally a religious, spiritual, Christ centered time. We did the usual gift giving, big meal on Christmas, but the focus was always Jesus, the Lord. When bringing up my own kids I sort of did, but I also dropped the ball a little. Advent and Cbristmas seemed a little empty, purposeless. I wish I had done better for my children!

A very appropriate article,especially in these last day times!
Only the Father knows when the end of the world will be, but Christ’s message is important in all times as we prepare for that day. May God bless you!
