Today is also the Fourth of Advent. I'd like to reshare a compilation post that I created a few years ago (please click on the title to view the entire post):
DAY#21 - 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 21st and I am opening Box#21
(the box looks like #27 but it is actually 21)

"We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia. We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead. And He did rescue us from mortal danger, and He will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in Him, and He will continue to rescue us. And you are helping us by praying for us. Then many people will give thanks because God has graciously answered so many prayers for our safety.”
2 Corinthians 1:7-11
