DAY#25 CHRISTMAS DAY - 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 the
"Peaks & Valleys Advent Calendar"
Jesus is always our Savior, during the peaks & valleys/highs and lows of life.
Today is December 24th Christmas Day

"I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in His holy people, and His incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength He exerted when He raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under His feet and appointed Him to be head over everything for the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way.”
Ephesians 1:18-23
