Advent is Here

We began the tradition last year of celebrating Advent and are excited to begin it with our little son this year. Here is the simple advent wreath I made for our family.You need, a wreath, 3 purple candles, 1 pink candle and 1 white pillar candle. I got everything here at the Dollar Tree.

Today is the first Sunday of Advent. The first candle lit on the first Sunday of advent is the Prophecy candle and reminds us that Jesus' coming was prophesized many years before He was born. The candle is purple to represent Christ's royalty and His title, the King of Kings.

Some verses to read are: Isaiah 9:2-7 & Luke 1:30-35
Some hymns to sing are: O Come O Come Emmanuel & Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus.
