2nd of DECEMBER - Peaks & Valleys Advent Calendar
Welcome to the 2025 Advent Season!! Advent is the season that celebrates Jesus coming to earth. The word "Advent" is derived from the Latin word "adventus" which means "coming". During Advent, Christians celebrate the birth of the Messiah Jesus who came to earth as a sacrifice so that we all might have eternal life.

In the "Strange Stuff" series we learned that our calendar has been distorted and changed (click HERE to read "13 Moonths & The Turtle Shell"). We learned that Jesus was most likely NOT born in December - however, that does not mean we should stop celebrating Jesus. Yes, I agree that society has added evil to Christmas by focusing on santa, material things and food, but those should NEVER be our focus.
Jesus is the ONLY reason that I celebrate Christmas.
Every year I feature a different Advent calendar and since this year has been particularly difficult for my family (both my mother-in-law and my father passed away), I felt led by the Holy Spirit to focus on Scripture showing God's help through both the bad and good times.

There are so many Bible verses (Old & New Testaments), focusing on how our God is ALWAYS there for us during the lows and highs of life. That's why I'm calling this
"Peaks & Valleys Advent Calendar"
Jesus is always our Savior, during the peaks & valleys/highs and lows of life.
Today is December 2nd and I am opening Box#2

"so is My word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which
I sent it.
You will go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands.”Isaiah 55:11-12
