Last Sunday marked the beginning of Advent. Advent means "the coming" , and signals the time of the year in which we begin awaiting the coming of the Lord Jesus. Even if you don't belong to a church which officially celebrates advent, it's good to remember the real meaning of Christmas. It becomes very easy to be stressed out, tired and depressed amid all the responsibilities common the Christmastime. Take time to think every day about just what Christmas is celebrating and what it means to you, and for all of us.
