8 Simple Steps for Your Most Meaningful Christmas
I’m going to share with you the plan I use to simplify and “meaningfulify” (that’s a real word, as of right now) your holiday. Our holidays don’t need to be complicated, full of stress, or non-stop activity to be meaningful. They simply need to be intentional. The free PDF you’ll find at the end of this post will help you work through these steps. So let’s get planning!
Walk Through Lent With Joy!
Walk through Lent with Joy with this printable Lent calendar for kids and adults.
Those of you who are familiar with Lent and what it’s all about will understand why the title: Walk Through Lent with Joy, is surprising.
Lent is a time of penance and repentance, of fasting, of giving up joy … isn’t it?
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.
—James 1:2-3
Celebrate Advent With an Advent Wreath
Find the meaning behind the Advent wreath including traditional colors and symbolism. Also included find readings and music for each Sunday of Advent.
Welcome to the Joy of Advent!
We want you to have the most meaninful Advent ever
With that goal in mind, we developed daily readings that run from December 1st to the feast of the Epiphany on January 6th. We’ve been using these readings and carefully selected songs for years in our own home, and now we offer them to you as a daily email subscription. They will not appear on this site, but are offered exclusively to those who want to share in this Advent Journey with us. In the true spirit of Christmas, the Joy of Advent subscription is completely free.
