Yesterday we lit the first Advent candle at church. It’s officially Christmas season now.

The first Advent candle represents hope. To Christians, the hope of what was to come in form of a baby in a manger on Christmas day.

Hope is a great word to describe some of the buzz that happens around Christmas.

We watch Christmas movies full of hope.

We listen to Christmas music full of hope.

Hope that people will get along better.

Hope that we will appreciate what we have.

Hope that peace and joy will win out over anger and depression.

Hope that we will find what we are looking for.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas season this year.

Make it a great day.

Jake
